Price Dominates Canadian Open With Narrow Victory
Nick Price edged Mark Calcavecchia by one stroke at Glen Abbey to win the Canadian Open, posting 13 under with a closing 68. Price, who also holds the British Open, laughed off any talk of lasting dominance and noted he is human. Calcavecchia birdied the 18th to pull even, but Price sealed the win with an eagle on the 16th and a two-shot margin with two holes to play.
