If this year’s RBC Canadian Open ends like it did last year, everyone will be happy. Well, everyone but Adam Hadwin. A down-to-the-wire tournament that ended with a sudden-death eagle by Nick Taylor on the par-5 18th was quickly followed by Hadwin rushing the green and getting flattened by a security guard. Play the tape!
Taylor became the first Canadian man to win a national open since Pat Fletcher in 1964, and the first Canadian in general since 2018 when Brooke Henderson won the CPKC Women’s Open in Saskatchewan. It didn’t come easily as Taylor needed a 72-foot eagle putt to defeat Tommy Fleetwood on the fourth playoff hole.
Taylor will, of course, be back this year to defend his country’s honor, but he’ll have to hold off other Canadians like Taylor Pendrith, Corey Conners, Adam Svensson, Adam Hadwin and Mackenzie Hughes. Among the other notables in the field at Hamilton Golf and Country Club outside Toronto are Rory McIlroy (winner there in 2019), Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Tom Kim, Adam Scott, Robert MacIntyre and Nicolai Højgaard.
Canadians haven’t won the tournament in back-to-back years since Albert Murray and Karl Keffer in 1913 and 1914. We’ll find out soon enough if they can break that streak.
This week’s winner will receive 500 FedEx Cup points and a $1.65 million cut of the $9.4 million purse.
