Up here in the Great White North, we take our golf almost as seriously as we do our hockey, having elevated Mike Weir to a status previously reserved only for the likes of Wayne Gretzky.

While Weir didn't shoot Gretzky's jersey number, he did struggle, missing a cut for the second week in a row, much to the disappointment of the Weir fans pictured below, decked out in Augusta-esque caddy overalls, topped with hats in Canadian red.

At the halfway point of our national open, an American with a French-Canadian sounding name - Brent Delahoussaye - is near the top of the leaderboard. Chapeau Noir is a big fan of the FootJoy Icon, and therefore admires Brent's choice in footwear. The FJ Icon Sport with a tan accent is exactly the pair we all need to mix in with a tan trouser - pure class!

Perhaps he'll go with Argonaut double blue on Saturday.

Paul Casey was a good lad to hoof it back over the pond after playing in the final pairing on Sunday at The Open Championship, but he does look a bit sleepy in that Nike shirt that should have more than enough wattage to dilate anyone's pupils.

Make a note to keep an eye on Spencer Levine, as he has loads of style going on. Sean O'Hair is looking tight in Ashworth, which is a good thing.

Today's fashion experiment? Chapeau Noir thinks Michael Letzig and his caddy might want to try trading hats, just to see what happens.

Canadian by the way of Trinidad and Tobago, Steven Ames of Nike is closer to flat belly than portly, but provides us with an excellent lesson in how horizontal stripes can be less than flattering at times.

This might be the Liberty School talking, but top Canadian Adam Hadwin seems to be channelling Adam Scott. See picture at right.

Finally, Chapeau Noir presents Kevin Na's Canadian Tribute: Une Homage Du Neige.
