Father’s Day came early for Dougie MacIntyre, who showed up for a one-off caddieing gig in Canada and wound up helping son Robert to his first PGA Tour title.
It’s not often a winner ranks outside the top 25 in both strokes gained/off the tee and approach to the green (29th and 44th, respectively), but MacIntyre came up big around and on the greens.
The RBC Canadian Open revealed a fun change to its logo overnight, swapping out a boring old golfer taking a swing with Nick Taylor’s epic putter drop from this year’s event.
It was the outcome everyone in the rain-soaked gallery at Oakdale Golf & Country Club wanted to see on Sunday, Canada’s own Nick Taylor walking away the winner at the RBC Canadian Open, becoming the first local in 69 years to win his country’s national title.
Apparently, security had no idea that Hadwin was a fellow tour pro, a fellow Canuck and a friend to Taylor, with one guard mistaking him for a law-breaking fan and FLATTENING him Terry Tate linebacker style.
Monahan, who refused to mention LIV Golf by its name, was asked if the players who played in the 54-hole event in London this past weekend will ever be allowed to return to the PGA Tour. His answer was hardly a confirmation.
An official announcement on the fate of the tournament, scheduled for June 10-13 at St George’s Golf & Country Club in Toronto, is expected within weeks.
