"I played really solid. My wedge game was a little better and my short game bailed me out a couple of times." "I just need to keep doing what I'm doing. Sort of just give myself a number and try not to look at the guys around me too much." "It has been trial and error with me and my putter. It was nice."

Burns has 16 rounds of 65 or lower on the PGA Tour since the beginning of 2021 - most of any player. Data Golf gave the Englishman a 50% chance to win after reaching 10 under in his second round. The rest of the field is just hanging on. The inclusion of Thomas last night at 20-1 proved to be a smart decision, and he should love his chances tomorrow. Sitting at 5 under, Taylor is only six strokes off the lead and could post an early number for the leaders to chase. Without witnessing first-hand the ebbs and flows of the leaders, Burns could be in a position of simply needing to play golf. So it's just, I mean, I knew obviously very passionate sports fans up in this part of the world and then having two years away from this tournament, I knew they were going to be ready to go this year." Selfishly, I would have loved to see Burns and Thomas play together, but the group of Smalley, Clark and Burns may actually be beneficial for the LSU product. Then when I made an eagle on 9, I kind of knew then I was like, 'oh, wow, we're climbing up that leaderboard.' And anytime you're at the top of the leaderboard and have a chance to win on a Sunday on the PGA Tour it's exciting." Sneaking in the backdoor of the top five at the Charles Schwab Challenge, perhaps this is the second step in Finau's march back to relevance. "I didn't finish the way I wanted to yesterday, and I think all it did was kind of light a fire in my belly to get after it today," said Finau after tying his career-low round on the PGA Tour with an 8-under 62. Feel like all aspects of my game are in pretty good shape, so just go out there and try and post a number and see if that's good enough."
Rory McIlroy bolstered his hopes of a successful RBC Canadian Open title defence after taking a share of lead into the final day in Ontario.
Full coverage will begin on Sky Sports Golf from 5pm. All aspects of the game were feeling good and I just need to take that into tomorrow." The former world No 1 responded to a missed five-foot birdie chance at the tenth by taking advantage of the par-five next and firing his approach into the par-four 12th to tap-in range, with a birdie at the par-five 15th lifting him into a share of the lead.
Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Tony Finau will play in the final group of the RBC Canadian Open.
In his letter announcing the suspension of the LIV defectors, Monahan pointed to this week’s RBC Canadian Open as a shining example of all that is right with the PGA Tour. A national open, on a world-class golf course, with tons of history and a field full of the world’s best players. “It's certainly the best atmosphere of any golf tournament going on this week,” McIlroy said. ... obviously, with a tournament like this and the history that it has and how long it's been played, had a lot of great past champions and venues and drama. "It's just got, again just kind of a slower song, but yeah, I like Drake's style. And it looks like it has a potential tomorrow to produce a little bit more of that and create some more history.” money dynamic the PGA Tour wants to establish, there’s a feel-good aspect to this week with the return to Canada. The money at stake this week does not compare to the LIV lucre, and that’s not going to change; the PGA Tour does, however, hold the advantage in quality of golfers. And It’s almost as if the studs showed up on Saturday to remind the golf world of that fact. Drake is from Toronto; if you’ve heard any of his songs, you know this. By the time he stuck an approach to six feet at 18, fans had broken into a full-fledged chant of Ro-ry, Ro-ry Ro-ry Ro-ry! to the tune of soccer’s famous ole! If the PGA Tour had a sitcom, it’d be called "Everybody Loves Rory." He’s probably the most universally liked players among fans and his peers, but the love somehow seems to go a step further in Canada. Making his return to the RBC three years after he shot a final-round 61 to win it last time, McIlroy was serenaded with adoration the entire day, and as the liquor continued to flow deep into Saturday afternoon, the shouts grew even more passionate. Just hours after World No. 126 Charl Schwartzel won $4.75 million at the inaugural LIV event, three of the world’s best players booked a place in the final threesome for this, the first Canadian Open since 2019. The field at St. George’s this week is heavy on starpower but light on depth, which is fine so long as the stars do their thing.
The top of the leaderboard at the Canadian Open sure is top-heavy. While world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler finished at even-par on Saturday to remain at ...
There’s no other place I would want to be playing and obviously with a tournament like this and the history that it has and how long it’s been played, has a lot of great past champions and venues and drama. And it looks like it has potential tomorrow to produce a little bit more of that and create some more history.” The top Canadian heading into Sunday is Nick Taylor, who’s T15 after carding a three-under-par 67 on Saturday to improve to five-under. More than a couple of fans yelled from the crowd that Finau was the best-dressed golfer in the field. Thomas is encouraged to see so many of the world’s best in contention here. The top of the leaderboard at the Canadian Open sure is top-heavy. Finau, a father of three, is very familiar with Canada. He played the PGA Tour Canada back in 2013 and drove all over the country. “I didn’t finish the way I wanted to yesterday, and I think all it did was kind of light a fire in my belly to get after it today. But it was the long eagle putt he nailed on No. 9 that got Finau thinking, as he put it, “Oh, wow, we’re climbing up that leaderboard.” And climb he did, after starting the day with a two-round score of three-under-par. Thomas, who’ll play in the top group Sunday alongside Finau and McIlroy, also shot the lights out Saturday, carding a seven-under-par 63, leaving him two shots back. The 32-year-old American drained his seventh birdie putt of the day on No. 18 to the delight of thousands of fans watching, and he bent his knees to help will that ball into the hole. I definitely get a lot of love from the fans, which is pretty amazing,” he said.
Tony Finau fired an 8-under 62 and Rory McIlroy had a clutch birdie on No. 15 to share the lead at the RBC Canadian Open in Toronto.
The weather forecast called for heavy rain and possible thunderstorms on Sunday, so the PGA Tour decided on a split start from the first and ninth tees with threesomes instead of pairings for the final round. Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., shot a 3-under 67 to become the low Canadian at 5 under overall. This is awesome.
Dart from @McIlroyRory on 18. "It's nice to be back in Canada," said Finau, who was paired with Spaun for the first two rounds of the tournament. "Controlla is a song that I always go back to. "It does feel almost like a home game.

The folks north of the border added a new punchline to an old joke while hosting a PGA Tour event on Saturday, when a hockey game broke out.
I just said to myself, let’s just try to get yourself in the final group,” McIlroy said. “I’m just happy to give myself a chance, be in the final group. “Sort of feels pretty similar to last time at Hamilton, I was just trying to get myself in that final group with Webb (Simpson) and I was able to, tied for the lead there. On Sunday, McIlroy looks to become the first European player to defend the Canadian Open title since James Douglas Edgar did so in 1920. “I said to … Rory and Corey (Conners) that it felt like a major a little bit out there. Finau’s 62 was nearly matched by Thomas, who rolled in an eagle on the 15th hole after a dramatic fairway wood that nearly dropped from 235 yards away.
TORONTO, Ont. – Growing up in Kentucky, the opportunities were likely limited for Justin Thomas to feel what it's like to skate onto ice to the unmistakable ...
This was his lowest round on the PGA TOUR since a matching 62 in the second round of The American Express in January 2020. McIlroy, meanwhile, is trying to go back-to-back for the first time in his TOUR career. The winner of the 2022 PGA Championship had as complete a day as you could ask for, sitting inside the top-10 in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, Tee to Green, and Putting. “I knew I was playing well, but at any given moment on this golf course you can make a number. “I don’t know why it’s happening, but I’m very appreciative of the fan support here in Toronto. I said to… “I didn’t do anything great.
