No. 55—Jerome Blais—Académie de Golf Performance, Que.—Don't read too much into Jerome Blais' PGA of Canada Player Ranking—he doesn't play a whole bunch of tournament golf. But when he does tee it up, watch out. Last year he finished third at the PGA of Quebec Zone Championship and ninth at the Zone Club Pro Championship. No. 56—John Rushnell—Oshawa Golf Club, Ont.—There are few very times when you won't catch the lanky 58-year old smiling on the golf course. But don't let Rushnell's happy-go-lucky demeanor fool you—the man is a serious competitor and has the ability to take it low. No. 57—Dan Greenwood—Heron Points Golf Links, Ont.—One of the assocation's good guys, Dan Greenwood returns to the PGA Championship at Magna after a year's hiatus. Back in 2011 at Cottonwood, Greenwood made it thru to the third round, disposing of Ryan Bastien and Shingo Akizuki. No. 58—Glen Mills—Assiniboine Golf Club, Man.—Making his PGA Championship debut last year in Calgary, Mills knocked off the impressive and highly seeded (No. 6) Ken Tarling. This year he'll go up against another top-seed and will once again look to play the spoiler. No. 59—John Kelly—Hylands Golf Club, Ont.— Last year at Country Hills in Calgary, Kelly as the No. 56 seed took the ninth seeded Scott Allred deep, eventually losing 1-down. Could the 2012 PGA of Ottawa Valley Assistants' winner take the next step and upset one of the big boys in 2013? ago and shock the field once again? Glenn Mills No. 60—Jeff Chambers—Elmwood Golf & Country Club, Sask.—A giant killer at the 2011 PGA Championship of Canada at Cottown, Jeff Chambers shocked the field, eliminating the No. 1-seeded Bryn Parry. Can he recapture the magic from two years No. 61—Craig Marseilles—Heritage Hills Golf Club, Ont.—The 2012 PGA of Ontario Seniors' Championship runner-up is back for his second-consecutive PGA Championship of Canada. While he's one of the older players in the field at 55-years old, he still has a chance to be formidable opponent thanks to his years of experience in tournament competition. No. 62—Geoff Kehler—St. Boniface Golf Club, Man.—Outside of Manitoba, Geoff Kehler isn't well known across the country. For those who don't know though, the 39-year old finished second at last year's PGA of Canada Club Pro Championship and knocked out bomber Matt Palsenbarg in the first round of the PGA Championship of Canada at Country Hills. No. 63—Brennan Rumancik—Elmwood Golf & Country Club, Sask.—At first glance, Brennan Rumancik will have his hands full at his first PGA Championship of Canada. But, once you dig a little deeper and check out his recent results, this may not exactly be the case. Last year alone he finished first at the PGA of Saskatchewan Assistants' Championship and second at the Zone Championship. No. 64—Daryl Stubbs—Cove Links Golf Course, B.C.—Coming in as the 64th seed, Daryl Stubbs has a tall task ahead of him. But the 53-year old British Columbia native might be up for the challenge. In both 2010 and 2011, Stubbs finished inside the top 10 at the PGA Seniors' Championship.
