A trio of Canadians will tee it up for the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club — and it could soon be a full foursome.
Taylor Pendrith, Corey Conners and Nick Taylor were all included in the initial field list for the second major of the season on Tuesday.
Breakout star Sudarshan Yellamaraju, meanwhile, is listed as the first alternate and would get into the tournament for his major debut if any player withdrew. Already, Phil Mickelson has pulled out, bumping Max Homa into the field.
Pendrith enjoyed a career-best finish at the PGA last year, finishing tied for fifth. However, the Richmond Hill, Ont., native has struggled this season, making just seven of 12 cuts, with his lone top-25 finish coming at the first event of the season in January, where he was T6.
Conners, a two-time Tour winner, has had slightly more steadiness with nine of 10 made cuts, but has rarely contended. The Listowel, Ont., native has yet to record a top-10 finish.
Taylor, of Abbotsford, B.C., has had the best season of the three with 11 made cuts and three top-25s, including a ninth-place finish on Sunday at the Cadillac Championship in Miami.
Yellamaraju, the Tour rookie, exploded onto the scene at The Players Championship where he placed T5, and followed it up a week later with a T6 at the Texas Children's Houston Open.
The PGA Championship is set for May 14-17 just outside of Philadelphia in Newtown Square, Penn. Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion.
No Canadian man has won a major since Mike Weir at the 2003 Masters.
