Canada’s national women’s golf championship is set to get a new name in 2014.

Justin Rose is the first Englishman to win the U.S. Open in 43 years.
Canadians David Hearn and Mike Weir both finished their final rounds at the U.S. Open early on Sunday.
Phil Mickelson began his week with a flight back-and-forth across the country. Even longer might be the 18 holes that now stand between him and that U.S. Open title he has been chasing his entire career.
And he’s never had a better opportunity than this one. Despite a bogey on the final hole of a taxing Saturday afternoon, Mickelson was the sole survivor to par at Merion with an even-par 70 that gave him a one-shot lead over Hunter Mahan, Charl Schwartzel and Steve Stricker going into the last round.
John Senden and Justin Rose replaced Phil Mickelson and Billy Horschel atop the leaderboard Saturday early in the third round at the U.S. Open, becoming the only players under par on the tough and tight little Merion Golf Club course.
Four of the five Canadians in the field at the U.S. Open in Ardmore, Pa., will complete their second rounds on Saturday, with veteran Mike Weir in the best shape to survive the 36-hole cut.
Even for Phil Mickelson, his path to the top of the leaderboard Thursday in the U.S. Open was unconventional.
Phil Mickelson stands alone under par, leading 3 players by 1 shot after 3rd round at U.S. Open. Here's some pictures from round 3 action:
Mike Weir's first round at the U.S. Open was something of a roller-coaster ride as he grabbed a share of the lead with two early birdies, then made four straight bogeys late in his round before finishing the day with a birdie on his 18th hole.
The world's top male golfers teed off — with a hiccup — on a soggy opening day at the U.S. Open Golf Championship in Ardmore, Pa., on Thursday.
Who’s shooting what at the 113th U.S. Open Golf Championship in Ardmore, Pa.
