Rookie Ollie Schniederjans Finds Inspiration in Jordan Spieth

OAKVILLE, Ontario — Ollie Schniederjans has put his name on the leaderboard at the RBC Canadian Open, picking up in his first tournament as a professional where he left off as an amateur at the British Open.

The 22-year-old American, who turned pro this week, birdied his final three holes at Glen Abbey to post a six-under 66 on Saturday and move into the top-10 midway through the third round at 10-under 266.

The strong performance by the former Georgia Tech college player comes on the heels of a tie for 12th at St. Andrews and is another example of a young gun poised to make his mark on the PGA Tour.
