The Vancouver Canucks have recalled forward Arshdeep Bains from the Abbotsford Canucks and re-assigned Jett Woo to the AHL club, the team announced Friday.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Patrick Cantlay began with an eagle and never let anyone close to him the rest of the round Friday. He shot a 6-under 65 to build a five-shot lead at the Genesis Invitational going into a weekend that won’t include Tiger Woods.
Woods made another early exit, this one because of flu symptoms instead of his injured body. He withdrew after six holes and spent the next two hours getting intravenous fluids before leaving Riviera, along with a big chunk of the gallery.
“Not physical at all. His back’s fine,” said Rob McNamara, a longtime association and vice president of TGR Ventures. “It was all medical illness, dehydration, which now the symptoms are reversing themselves now that he’s had an IV.”
Woods was driven away in a red SUV about the time Cantlay was running away from the field.
Cantlay has been making just about everything and giving himself loads of chances. He knows Riviera as well as any PGA Tour course, having gone to UCLA. He probably has played this course some 70 times in college and as a pro.
“Putting great and leaving the golf ball in the right spot, which is really key around here,” Cantlay said, who leads the field in the key putting statistic. “It’s a golf course I’m really comfortable on and it’s in the best shape I’ve ever seen it.
“It’s the best putting surfaces I’ve ever seen around this place,” he said. “I like when the greens are really fast, they’re as fast as I’ve ever seen them and I’ve made a bunch.”
Even when he appeared to be in trouble, he managed just fine. Cantlay missed the fairway on the two toughest holes at Riviera, Nos. 12 and 15. He hit 4-iron to 10 feet on No. 12 — he missed the birdie putt — and 4-iron to 3 feet on the No. 15, making one of only three birdies on that hole in the second round.
He was at 13-under 129, giving him a five-shot lead over Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont. — who also shot a 65 — Jason Day (69) and Luke List (69).
Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., moved to 7-under after a 65 round of his own.
