Hughes started the final round of the men's national golf championship tied for second, four shots back of Scotland's Robert MacIntyre. Hughes had three birdies on his first four holes and MacIntyre bogeyed No. 1 to lift the Canadian to the top of the leaderboard.
Hughes spoke all week about trying to stay mentally present and shelve any pressure he might feel. Not just because he was aware of the importance of keeping the championship in Canada, but because this year's event at Hamilton Golf and Country Club was essentially in his hometown. "In this game you can't really force things or feel like you need to start pressing, it's kind of a hard game to be pressing."
There was a small silver lining for Hughes. His performance earned him a spot in the upcoming British Open at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland.
