"Ive been low Canadian once before and its obviously proud for me to do that in front of everyone here at home," said Hearn. "It wasnt the finish that I was really looking for. I had a nice chance today, I was playing pretty solid, to kind of finish off a nice round and do it with a little bit of style. "But Ill take away some positives from the week and, obviously, I appreciate the support from everyone here this week and it always feels good to play at home." Hearn is from Brantford, Ont., 60 kilometres west of Oakville, Ont., the site of this years Canadian Open. Fans followed Hearn and fellow countrymen Mike Weir and Roger Sloan around the course at Glen Abbey Golf Club, with most gathering at the 18th green to watch the Canadians finish out their rounds. The crowd cheered when Hearn sank his final putt of the tournament. "I wouldve liked to have been making birdie like I did on Friday, get them a little bitt more excited," said Hearn of the crowds reaction.dddddddddddd "It feels great. "As I say, the support from everyone in Canada is amazing and I cant wait to do it again next year at Royal Montreal." Weir, from Brights Grove, Ont., finished in a tie for 49th at 3-under par. He was also pleased with the support of the Canadian fans. "Its wonderful, to have great support like that is special," said Weir. "Ive said that before. Not many guys kind of get that feeling to represent your country and to have that sense of pride. You know, it feels great. Ill say that." Sloan, from Merritt, B.C., was consistent throughout the tournament. He fired a 1-under 71 in the first two rounds, then an even-par 72 in the third and fourth to finish at 2-under par, tied for 52nd. The 26-year-old is a regular on the Web.com Tour, but feels that the higher-level PGA Tour is within his reach. "The PGA Tour is not way up there anymore. Its just within grasp," said Sloan.
