There are three matches still underway at Quail Hollow Golf Club in the event’s third session.

A fourth session will be held on Saturday afternoon with Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., expected to play.

It’s the first time two Canadians have played in the PGA Tour-sponsored event that sees 12 Americans take on 12 players from around the world, excluding Europe.
