Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor beats out three-way tie to win RBC Canadian Open
Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor has won the RBC Canadian Open, breaking a nearly 70-year losing streak for Canada.
He spent Sunday afternoon in the top of the leaderboard, in a tight race between other top contenders including three English players, Tyrell Hatton, Aaron Rai and Tommy Fleetwood. Taylor started the four-day tournament on a sour note, but credits a pep talk from his wife for pulling his game together. By Saturday he had broken the Oakdale Golf & Country Club’s course record, with a 9-under 63.
At one point of the fourth round on Sunday, the crowd broke out into a rendition of O’Canada. The last Canadian who won the national open was Pat Fletcher in 1954.During the fourth round on Sunday, Taylor was already politely engaging in post-tournament interviews between holes on the back nine. After one interview, he bogeyed on the 16th and briefly lost his tied lead with Hatton.
