green_canadian_open_mountiesNathan has won the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey after a playoff with South Africa's Retief Goosen. Both players were tied at 18 under par at the completion of 72 holes of the weather delayed event outside of Toronto.

 

Nathan parred the second extra hole to defeat Goosen and win his first USPGA Tour event three and a half years after joining the Tour in 2006. In his only other playoff on the PGA Tour he was defeated by Tiger Woods at the Buick Invitational in February of his rookie season.  

 

"It's a huge surprise to finally win," said Green told PGA Tour, the 34-year-old former Canadian Tour player from Toronto -- Toronto, Australia, that is. "This is where I started my pro career. I love coming up here. The people are great."

 

More on Nathan's win later and a chat with him then.
