Taylor becomes 1st Canadian in 69 years to win his national open
“It was the most incredible atmosphere I’ve ever been a part of and it’s not even close. I think even walking the first tee today, walking to the first green, there’s ovations on every single tee and green,” Taylor said. “When Tommy would miss and they would cheer, I kind of felt bad for him. But I knew just how pumped they were and they were trying to put every ounce of energy into it to help me pull it through.”

May the best goldfish win
Incredibly cashed in this segment last week despite my player (Scottie Scheffler) making the cut on the number. This week I’m not taking the heavy favorite, instead I’m throwing a dart at Aaron Rai (+500 for a top 10). Rai is 33rd on TOUR in SG: Tee-to-Green but will need some improvement in other facets to collect here. Another to consider here is Eric Cole (+450). He’s proven this season to be a scrappy fighter and ranks 31st in SG: Total.
A tradition? The future of the Canadian Open feels uncertain again
In the lead-up to last year’s tournament at Etobicoke’s St. George’s Golf and Country Club, no less a name than Dustin Johnson, one of the long-time faces of RBC’s golf sponsorship program, reneged on his agreement to play in the event. It was crass business, sure. But Wayne Gretzky’s son-in-law was simply following the lead of fellow PGA Tour players like Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia and abandoning a professional life’s worth of relationships for life-changing money — in Johnson’s case, a reported $125-million (U.S.) guarantee to join the Saudi-backed rebels of LIV Golf, whose inaugural rival event was teeing off opposite Canada’s only PGA Tour stop.
