Weyburn, Saskatchewan's Graham DeLaet captured the Desjardins Montreal Open on the weekend in a playoff, his first win on the Canadian Tour. After being named the rookie of the year on the Canadian Tour last season (2007), Graham has had a tough year making only 3 of 8 cuts heading to Montreal.
The $32,000 winners cheque changed that in a hurry.
DeLaet fired a 4-under 67 on Sunday to post -10 in the clubhouse. George Bradford made bogey on the last hole, setting up a three way playoff with UCLA grad Daniel Im.
In the playoff, Bradford found the rough and then the water, ending his chances of taking the title. Im laid up while DeLaet hit a 220 yard approach to the back fringe of the par 5 and got up and down for the win.
Graham DeLaet is a two-time Saskatchewan Amateur Champion. His next action will be next week in the Toronto area at the $125,000 Jane Rogers Championship of Mississauga.
