David Hearn set for Canadian Open at Glen Abbey (The Associated Press)

OAKVILLE, Ontario (AP) -- David Hearn signed every hat, flag and ticket handed to him. He took off his sunglasses and put them behind his cap for every photo and asked the name of every young fan as he made his way off the 18th green at Glen Abbey on Wednesday at the Canadian Open pro-am.

The PGA Tour regular from nearby Brantford takes the time because he remembers what it was like to be on the other side of the ropes.

''As a young kid I used to come to Canadian Opens and I remember waiting for a lot of golfers I admired,'' said Hearn, who looked up to Fred Couples, among others.
