A winning putt over twenty meters! It is with this lump sum that Nick Taylor won the RBC Canadian Open, ending Canadians’ 69-year wait for their National Open! In fact, it’s the first home win by a Canadian golfer in PGA Tour history, with the maple leaf flag officially adopted in 1965, eleven years after the win of Pat Fletcher ! Vijay Singh had destroyed the dream mike weir in the playoffs in 2004. This time, Nick Taylor defeated Tommy Fleetwood after four playoff holes to win his third PGA Tour title. Definitely the most beautiful!

The 35-year-old golfer, who set the course record the day before (63) and is still solid with a 66 capped by two birdies on the last two holes, made the difference with this unlikely putt for Eagle at 18 . A putt from 22 yards under Tommy Fleetwood’s eye stuns. The longest putt of his career on the American circuit! The atmosphere was crazy all day and that bodes well for the Presidents Cup to be held in Montreal in September 2024.

Tommy Fleetwood misses the target again

Visibly more tense than his opponent during the playoffs, Tommy Fleetwood still misses out on a first win across the Atlantic. The 32-year-old golfer was still brilliant on and around the greens, but after 76 holes he finally broke through to secure his fourth top five finish of his US season, seven months after his last DP World Tour title .

Three Englishmen on the podium

Two more Englishmen end up on the podium Tyrrell Hatton And Aaron Raialongside the Taiwanese CT Pan. Hatton pawned his chances with a double bogey at 8 (ball in the water). But what a reaction of pride! Six birdies on his second leg, four birdies on his last four holes, and a card of 64, a shot from the course record! Aaron Rai is a regular all week (67-69-69-67) and in turn secures his first career podium on the PGA Tour.

In the final game with Tommy Fleetwood, CT Pan also finished third, one shot from the playoff. The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games 2021 medalist may regret starting the day (+2 after 13 holes), but with four birdies on his last five holes, he’s proving his wrist injury is just a bad memory.

No hat trick for Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy was never able to score the hat trick with the first birdie after 12 holes. Sunday’s par just snatches a place in the top 10. The world No. 3 will inevitably be one of the favorites ahead of next week’s US Open, but he needs to erase his many mistakes in attacking the greens in particular to put an end to his nearly nine-year lack of major!

Eric Cole is still talked about

Nor will we forget the course record set by the American Eric Cole (63). The 34-year-old rookie…had caused a stir after losing to him in the playoffs Chris Kirk at the Honda Classic in late February before confirming his lead in the PGA Championship after a night-interrupted first day. This new achievement with a sixth-place finish earns him a place in the FedEx Cup Top 40.

Martin Trainer last on average

The Swede attended his first professional tournament Ludwig Aberg took a pleasing 25th place. With four cards over 70, Martin Coach passed the cut without ever hoping for big points.
