The four Canadians were scheduled to play a practice round together on Tuesday at Winged Foot Golf Club.

Hughes (56th in the world golf rankings), Hadwin (64th) and Conners (69th) are the top Canadians in the rankings.

Pendrith is fifth among Canadians at 157th. He qualified for the U.S. Open by virtue of his top-five ranking on the Korn Ferry Tour, the feeder circuit for the PGA Tour.

Mike Weir’s 2003 Masters win is the only victory at a major for a Canadian male golfer.
