Ben Eoin, NS (Sports Network) – Joel Dahmen fired a 10-under 62 to grab a 2- stroke lead at the Cape Breton Celtic Classic before play was suspended due to darkness.<\/p>\n
Dahmen, who has a pair of top-10 finishes this season, is seeking his first career win on the PGA Tour Canada.<\/p>\n
Wes Homan shot an 8-under 64 to sit alone in second place, while Times Colonist Island Savings Open winner Stephen Gangluff owns third at 6-under 66.<\/p>\n
David Skinns, Micah Burke and Ryan Blaum shared fourth at 5-under 67.<\/p>\n
Twenty-nine players will need to finish their opening round when play resumes on Friday.<\/p>\n
Dahmen opened his round with back-to-back birdies at the first and second, and later poured in four birdies over a five-hole stretch from the sixth to move to 6-under.<\/p>\n
After tripping to a bogey at the 11th, he regained his early form by racing into the clubhouse with five birdies over his final six holes to move to the top of the leaderboard.<\/p>\n
Homan had earlier grabbed the clubhouse lead by recording eight birdies during his bogey-free round.<\/p>\n
NOTES: Johnny Bloomfield hit a hole-in-one at the 15th hole … This is the second straight new event on the PGA Tour Canada … This is the first time the PGA Tour Canada has played on the east coast since the 2001 Aliant Cup in St. John’s, Newfoundland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
