Scottie Scheffler claimed victory at the prestigious Memorial Tournament last Sunday, but he has elected to give this one a miss.
Instead, Rory McIlroy was the headline act as he looked to win his third Canadian Open title.
The Northern Irishman decided to skip Jack Nicklaus’ event, but his week in Toronto did not go well, missing the cut after a tough Friday.
Instead it’s American Cameron Champ who leads the way at 12-under with Andrew Putnam two shots back.
Shane Lowry, Victor Perez, Nick Taylor, Danny Willett and Sam Burns are also in contention.

‘It surprised me’ – Rory McIlroy left golf legend in the dark weeks after crucial Masters adviceRBC Canadian Open: What has been said?
McIlroy is using this week’s Canadian Open as a key warm-up for the upcoming US Open.
The Northern Irishman, who won the Canadian tournament in 2019 and 2022, has been a consistent contender at the US Open in recent years, recording six consecutive top-10 finishes.
“I love that it’s the week leading into the US Open,” McIlroy said.
“I’ve had six top 10s in a row at the US Open, so there’s something to that.”
Winning the Masters in April brought McIlroy his long-awaited career Grand Slam, becoming only the sixth male golfer to achieve the feat, but he admits now he has conquered that peak, things have changed for him.
Asked what challenge was left for him the 36-year-old said: “I don’t know if I’m chasing anything.
“I would certainly say that the last few weeks I’ve had a couple of weeks off and going and grinding on the range for three or four hours every day is maybe a little tougher than it used to be.
“You have this event in your life that you’ve worked towards and it happens, sometimes it’s hard to find the motivation to get back on the horse and go again.
“I think the last two weeks have been good for me just as a reset, just to sort of figure out where I’m at in my own head, what I want to do, where I want to play.
“I thought it was a good time to reset some goals.”
