Weir, Kim and Axley Share Early Lead at Canadian Open
OAKVILLE, Ontario (Reuters) - Home favorite Mike Weir and Americans Anthony Kim and Eric Axley fired six-under 65s to share the early first-round lead at the Canadian Open on Thursday. Trying to become the first Canadian to lift the title since Pat Fletcher 54 years ago, Weir got his bid off to a bogey-free start at a soggy Glen Abbey course. Left-hander Weir, who narrowly failed to win the trophy in 2004 when he lost to Fiji's Vijay Singh in a playoff, rolled in a five-footer on his final hole. Axley went one better, eagling the par-five 18th to end his round just before play was suspended due to bad weather. Kim, chasing his third title of the season, mixed seven birdies with a single bogey. Lurking two shots back were Americans JP Hayes, Nicholas Thompson and Ryan Armour and Richard Johnson of Britain.

Weir Eager to End 54-Year Canadian Open Drought
TORONTO (Reuters) - After battling punishing conditions at the British Open, Canadians Mike Weir and Stephen Ames face another daunting challenge in trying to end a 54-year drought for home players at the Canadian Open. No Canadian has claimed the national championship since Pat Fletcher in 1954, leaving Weir, Ames and 17 other Canadian contenders trying to wrestle the title away from back-to-back winner Jim Furyk at the Glen Abbey golf course starting on Thursday. Weir, the 2003 Masters champion, came tantalizingly close to ending the dry spell the last time the Canadian Open was staged on the par 71, 7,273-yard Jack Nicklaus designed layout in 2004 but came up just short after losing to Fiji's Vijay Singh in a playoff. "I remember (in 2004) that everybody was very excited," Weir told reporters. "I was in contention, and Canada was playing for the gold in the world (hockey) championships. So there was a different atmosphere than a normal golf tournament. "But...
