A CanTour Birdie Feast At Seaforth Country Classic

Back in sixth spot at 6-under 65 are Wil Collins, Andy Walker, Kent Eger, Scott Ford, Eric Couture and Andrew Parr.

"I got off to kind of a slow start," said Bland, "but the key today was keeping the ball in play."

"I made a birdie at my third hole and made another two-putt at my fifth (No. 14). After that, I made a couple of soft pars coming in that should have been birdies.

Bland admitted he wasn't in the best of moods at the turn.

"I was pretty frustrated at the time because you can make birdie at pretty much every hole here but I wasn't keeping it in the fairway," he said.

"When that happens at a course like this, you almost feel like you are losing a shot to the field.

"I finally got it going when I holed a putt at my eleventh from about 12 feet after a real bad tee shot. It kind of got my spirits going."

He isn't kidding. After another par, the Australian reeled off five consecutive birdies to finish his round.

"I just hit it close those last few holes and made the putts. It was pretty awesome," he concluded.

Fellow Aussie, Clint Rice, is one back.

"Anyone out here is capable of shooting seven or eight under," said American Daniel Im, a two-time winnerthis season." Could there be a 59 this week? Yeah, I could see it happening."


"Overall, I think you'll see about 25-under par win this thing," commented Andy Walker, "so you have to keep making birdies.
