The Field for this year's RBC Canadian Open

EDIT >>>> I think considering for the players it is a regular season event (not signature) on a non iconic American course it is a pretty good field aided and abetted by the RBC sponsored ambassadors.

Muirfield Village, the wind, the scoring soared... Poston/Gerard are leaders, ..36 hole results

    PGA Tour : Memorial Tournament Tee Times Leaderboard

" I can't put it into words how hard that was, that was the hardest round I can remember, major or non major, that was just insane"

That was a common summation of Friday at the Memorial by Justin Thomas as he barely made the cut 74 75 +5, as I mentioned the wind was going to get up Friday and again Saturday on a very tough Muirfield Village and it did and so did the scoring.

Here's a few, with  the generous cut at +5 who may have been humming the old song " What a difference a day makes"

* Nick Taylor 68 78 +2  

* Ludvig Aberg 71 78 +5

* Justin Rose 69 76 +1

* JJ Spaun 67 77 E

* Wyndham Clark 67 75 -2

* Tommy Fleetwood 67 73 -4

* owgr #1 Scott Scheffler 73 72 +1 and #2 Rory McIlroy 71 74 +1 are both 10 shots behind.

LEADERS

On the bright side two golfers,1st, JP Poston 70 65 -9 and 2nd Ryan Gerard 67 69 -8 have defied the odds, caught a slight break with the weather, played superbly and made some putts better than all the rest, 3rd  Sam Burns 69 69 -6  was not bad either.

Note ***** Poston's 65 moved him up 80 places !

WEATHER

More of the same, the SW wind is a wee bit worse in the morning, 11am :24km/h with 60% chance of TStorms easing to 18kmh in the afternoon. So a delay in play is not a long shot

Sunday the wind drops significantly NW 6km/h with 0% chance of rain.

OPINION

The lead at -9/-8 is invaluable given the weather for Saturday, however it is precarious, and not likely to be improved.

However, it's clear they are at least 4 shots better than the rest, who if this scoring continues on Saturday, will have trouble closing the gap without some help.

The pack's job on moving day, is a common one, to get into such a position, that when a benign Sunday arrives it will make scoring much lower to make a run at the title. 

Oh yes friends, there seems to be a gentleman's agreement with the players and broadcasters not to mention MONEY.

So yes, they are playing for $20,000,000, around $3,800,000 for the jackpot.

Weather delayed KLM Open playing catch up....36 hole partial scores..

   DP World Tour : KLM Open Leaderboard Tee Times

Sebastian Söderberg will take a one-shot lead into the weekend at the weather-delayed KLM Open after a marathon second day at The International.

The Swede was in the half of the draw who managed to get their first round completed on day one and started round two two shots off the lead.

He had edged one ahead when play ended just before 9.00pm but will have four holes to complete on Saturday morning, with conditions usually tougher earlier in the day in Amsterdam.

Söderberg was at eight under, one shot clear of Kiwi Daniel Hillier and Japan’s Yuto Katsuragawa, who were in the clubhouse, and English pair Joe Dean and Callum Tarren, who had two and five holes remaining respectively.

Some players will have as many as eight holes left when play resumes at 7.15am, with the third round then set to be a two-tee start, beginning at 10.00am at the earliest.

Söderberg finished outside the top 100 on the Race to Dubai in 2025 and arrived in the Netherlands having made just two of his last eight cuts.

But he showed all the class that has made him a winner and seven-time runner-up on the DP World Tour in his 14 holes on Friday evening.

Hillier started the day at one over having played ten holes of round one before birdies on the par-five 15th and 18th had him under par.

“There was a lot of golf played today so I am a bit tired but played pretty steady all day,” he said. “Today was a little bit easier than yesterday for sure, still not easy, but just good to play a shot on its merit, and I did that pretty well so proud of that.

Katsuragawa completed just six holes on day one in one over par but got back on an even keel with a birdie on his first hole on Friday, adding further gains at the second and third.

“I am happy today, the long game not so much but I am putting very good,” he said.

Dean was alongside Söderberg after four birdies and a bogey but dropped a shot on the sixth, while Tarren made his move with six birdies and a bogey in his 13 holes.

American Jordan Gumberg and Austrian Maximilian Steinlechner were in the clubhouse at -6 after rounds of 68 and 69 respectively, with first-round leader Julien Guerrier also at -6 through 16 holes.

Finn Oliver Lindell and American Hunter Logan were at -5 with four and eight holes to play, with 12 players in the clubhouse four shots off the lead including Major Champions Francesco Molinari and Danny Willett.

Nick Taylor in contention at The Memorial... 18 hole results..Friday TEE TIMES

   PGA Tour : Memorial Tournament Tee Times Leaderboard

Three weeks ago at the PGA Championship Nick Taylor was right in contention on a very tough Aronimink GC where the greens were flummoxing most of the field. 

Nick Taylor wins Sony Open

However after a couple of errant drives, and missed putts on his final 8 holes led to a 40 he eventually finished T26.

This week Jack's Muirfield Village course, the greens are already very firm, and fast, that along with a swirling breeze has the field bunched with four sharing the lead with -5 67, Fleetwood, Clark, Spaun and Gerard.

Only 22 players broke par. "Small misses are leading to big punishments" is how Ryan Gerard summed round 1 up

Taylor can testify with a double bogey at the par 5 7th, then a bogey at 8. 

However the good news is he also made 4 birdies on that front nine 35, then buckled down for a solid 3 birdie no bogey back nine 33 for -4 68 a shot off the lead in 5th place.

Justin Rose and Sam Burns are next at -3 69.

* World #1 Scott Scheffler made headlines whining and complaining with his caddy after his errant shot at the 16th bounced into the water for a double bogey 6. He is T33 +1 73.

* On the other hand his PGA Championship winner and  playing partner Aaron Roi was calm and composed with the same score T33 +1 73
