TORONTO – Carl Pettersson thought he had missed the weekend cut moments after finishing the second round of the Canadian Open at 1 under. Two days later, he was celebrating his fourth PGA Tour title.

“I walked in the locker room and [fellow player] Jay Williamson had all the scenarios written out, and he’s like, ‘Grab a beer.’” Pettersson said. “Before you know it, I’d had seven beers. Made the cut. And my caddie had to drive me home. I wasn’t in that bad of shape, but I didn’t want to drive. I can usually handle seven beers.”

Pettersson moved into contention Saturday with a tournament-record 60, then closed with a 3-under 67 on Sunday to beat playing partner Dean Wilson by a stroke.

“I know it’s difficult to shoot another low one after a round like that, so I tried to kind of downplay it,” said Pettersson, six strokes behind Wilson with 11 holes to play and four back with seven to go. “I was just like, ‘I’ll go out and play.’ I tried to stay calm, and just [said], ‘Whatever happens today happens.’”
