This week: PGA Tour's RBC Canadian Open, Thursday through Sunday, Glen Abbey Golf Course, Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

Kelly's first-round score: 1-under-par 71.

Position: Kelly is tied for 37th, eight strokes behind leader Kevin Na (63).

Recap: The Tacoma resident hit only six of 14 fairways, two-thirds of the greens in regulation but scraped it around in soggy conditions for his fourth score of par or better in his past seven rounds. He was 2-under after his birdie on the par-5 16th, eventually fell to 1-over after back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 6 and 7 but finished strong with two birdies, the last coming on a 26-foot putt on the par-4 ninth hole.

Tee time Friday: 10:45 a.m. PDT off the first tee.

Other scores: UW golfer Nick Taylor is 3-over through 14 holes, and Olympia's Andres Gonzales won't tee off until Friday at 5:10 a.m. PDT.

Puyallup's PGA Tour golfer Ryan Moore wants to hold another version of his BMW Northwest Charity Skins Game at Chambers Bay Golf Course. So do organizers, primarily his family-run management team.

But with each passing day, the reality of a third installment dwindles.

The self-imposed deadline for the Moore Management Group passed last week, but Jeremy Moore, a co-founder, said until he exhausts every possibility to pull the event together, he's not calling it dead just yet.

"Just not likely," he said, adding the first week of August should be the definitive period whether it's on or off.

Gig Harbor's Kyle Stanley is trying to get in as much golf as he can as a professional, including a one-week stint at the European Tour's SAS Masters in Sweden.

And it didn't get off to a stellar start Thursday: a 5-over-par 77 Barseback Golf and Country Club.

He birdied two par-5 holes, but finished up with back-to-back bogeys on the par-4 17th and 18th holes. Currently, he is tied for 112th, and would need something in the 60s Friday to make the cut.
