While Canada went 1-2 in pool play in the Men’s Team event, Canada’s strongest showing came from Osborne during the Men’s Individual competition. On his way to earning a spot in the quarter-finals, Osborne beat two-time US Champ and world no. 49 Todd Harrity. It was a great win for Osborne and an incredibly well-played match.
