                The second round of the RBC PGA Scramble presented by BMW National Final featured the best conditions in the 10-year history of the program. You couldn’t find a cloud in the sky as temperatures topped 26-degrees, without even a breath of wind at Cabot Cape Breton on Monday.

                Craig Stefureak and Mitch Fox provide similar accounts when asked about their upbringing. “The golf course was my babysitter,” said Fox. “There are videos of me at three years old, hitting balls on the driving range,” said Stefureak. Both PGA of Canada members mention how Indigenous culture is intertwined with sports. Stefureak came from a family of hockey players; his father played professionally in Europe, while Fox’s dad, Andrew, is a Class "A” PGA of Canada professional.
