No. 23—Eric Landreville—Belle Vue Club de Golf, Que.—Quebec's Eric Landreville makes his PGA Championship of Canada debut this year at Magna. The 34-year old has the game to be a factor. He also has a number of impressive past results supporting this claim—a sixth at the Canada Cup and a 13th at the PGA Club Professional Championship of Canada in 2012. No. 24—Ken Tarling—Ken Tarling's Golf Academy, Ont.—You better believe Ken Tarling is out to prove something at Magna this year after suffering first round upset defeats in both 2011 and 2012. The former PGA Seniors' Championship of Canada winner's playing resume is as impressive any in the field with wins all over the globe. No. 25—John Hastie—Lively Golf & Country Club, Ont.—In the PGA of Northern Ontario he's known as Clunky (as in the sound of his irons). He's also known as an impressive grinder who can win golf tournaments— like the PGA of Northern Ontario Zone Championship. No. 26—Keir Smith—The National Golf Club of Canada, Ont.—Even though he recently turned 50, Keir Smith can still run with the young guns. Not only does his competitive fire still burn, his ability to grind out rounds (and opponents) could make him a player to watch at Magna. No. 27—Ian Doig—The Ian Doig Golf Academy, Ont.—One of the most travelled players in the field, Doig can rely on his wealth of his experience when the going gets tough. In 2012, he finished runner-up at the PGA of Ontario Championship and is a past winner of the PGA Club Professional Championship of Canada. Keir Smith No. 28—Ron Kenesky—Twenty Valley Golf & Country Club, Ont.—Kenesky plays pretty well in Ontario (see his zone playing resume and Golden Horseshoe Tour results), so luckily for him, this year's PGA Championship (he made it to the third round in 2012) happens to be in his home-province. No. 29—Tyler LeBouthillier—Silver Springs Golf & Country Club, Alta.—Alberta's Tyler LeBouthillier had a breakout season in 2012. He won the PGA of Alberta Championship, finished second at the PGA Assistants' Championship of Canada and was fifth at the PGA of Alberta Assistants' Championship. He was also named the PGA of Alberta's Player of the Year. No. 30—Roger Beale—Royal Westmoreland, Barbados—In 2011 Roger Beale came from virtually nowhere to capture the PGA Club Professional Championship of Canada. Last year in Calgary, no one was surprised to see Beale make it thru to the third round before bowing out to eventual champion Eric Laporte. No. 31—Jeff Gross—Sask.—Looking through his recent tournament scoring details, Gross doesn't know how to finish outside of the top five in PGA of Saskatchewan events. At the national level he always a player to keep an eye on. No. 32—Scott Knapp—Tor Hill Golf Course, Sask.—Would it be fair to call Scott Knapp one of the true legends in this year's PGA Championship field? Absolutely. He's been dominating PGA of Saskatchewan zone events since the 1980's and was inducted into the Saskatchewan Golf Hall of Fame in 2012. No. 33—David Wettlaufer—Goodwood Golf Club, Ont.—The former European Seniors' Tour player makes his PGA Championship of Canada debut this year at Magna and is poised to make a splash. In 2012, Wettlaufer finished sixth at both the Canada Cup and the PGA Seniors' Championship of Canada.
