The Canadian club had a second straight round of 63 yesterday at Tucker’s Point after playing at nearby Mid Ocean course on Monday and their two-round total of 126 going into today’s rest day gives them breathing space.
Belfair dropped two strokes on the leaders after adding a round of 65 at Tucker’s Point to go with their 64 on Mid Ocean.

Today is a rest day and a Ryder Cup-style tournament between golfers from the United States and Canada will be held at the Turtle Hill course before competition resumes tomorrow.
Good weather is in the forecast for the last two days of the tournament, meaning that the division leaders will have to play well tomorrow and Friday to hold off their pursuers.
