Mother Nature is not co-operating at this years RBC Canadian Open...

  PGA Tour : RBC Canadian Open Field

With the players arriving in Toronto before heading 40 minutes NW to the outskirts of Caledon at the TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley,North, the local Superintendent and PGA Tour officials have their eyes on the sky, as Mother Nature is about to take center stage with some very unstable weather.

WEATHER: 

Early week June 10-12 will be hot and muggy 27* -29*c with rain, TStorm energy 80% Wednesday morning for the Pro-Am softening the 7389 North course and on and off most of the day Thursday and Friday 60%- 80%.

Weekend June 13,14 see's a cold front moving through the area 15*-20*c with a significant SW wind on Saturday up to 25kp/h keeping the showers away..

Sunday cool only 18-22*c, however beware, wind 25 -39km/h with a P.O.P 40% morning to 70% afternoon and evening.

OPINION

Having experienced most every possible weather at this event, mostly at Glen Abbey since 1985 when I first volunteered, before starting broadcasting it with Fan590 in 1992, I will advise everyone attending this year to watch the weather forecast BEFORE you leave home.

As you can see all of the GTA is in for a very unstable weather air mass rolling in from SW tonight (Tuesday) so there are likely to be significant delays, especially with lightning anywhere within 20k of the course.

There will be preferred lies, a soft course with significant wind for the players to negotiate at times.

In Canada this week, RBC Canadian Open.. Inside the field..

   * TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley’s North course will once again play host – just the eighth such venue to host Canada’s national open since 1977. It is in a little town called Caledon about an hour NW of Toronto

* This year marks one of the strongest fields in tournament history.

* Four golfers ranked inside the top 10 in the world will head north to TPC Toronto, none called Rory or Scottie, however significant after all these $20M Signature events and with the US Open in Shinnicock, Long Island next week.

* Recent PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai is back in action as is  Brooks Koepka  playing in Canada also for the first time since 2019

John Chidley-Hill

*  Ryan Fox is the defending champ and looks to become the first golfer since Jhonattan Vegas to win in back-to-back years.

* Canada will be well represented, including rookie Sudarshan Yellamaraju, who is the top Canadian on the FedExCup standings. Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith, Mackenzie Hughes and A.J. Ewart are amongst the home-country crew looking to join Nick Taylor as recent Canadian champions.

* Also Mike Weir who is playing his 33rd RBC Canadian Open – just two back of the all-time mark held by George Cumming. … Joey Savoie will tee it up after winning in his last start on PGA TOUR Americas. … Ashton McCulloch is set to make his professional debut. McCulloch qualified for the U.S. Open in 2024 and shot a 59 at his home course in Kingston, Ontario, last week. 

* Long-time Canadian PGA TOUR members Adam Hadwin, Ben Silverman and Roger Sloan are also set to tee it up.

* TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North course), par 70, 7,389 yards will play host to the RBC Canadian Open for the second time (it will also host in 2027). 

The North course underwent a significant renovation in 2023 and through 2024 to prepare for the best in the world and has an architectural aim of challenging golfers’ approach game with strategically placed bunkering.

* 2025:  Ryan Fox won for the second time in a month-long stretch, topping Sam Burns in a playoff at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley’s North Course. Fox shot 64-66 on the weekend and ended up in a tie with Burns, who shot a final-round 62, the round of the day, and just one off the round of the week. 

They played No. 18 three times, before Fox hit what he called the “shot of his life.” Although he would miss the short eagle try, it was enough as Burns missed a 9-foot birdie effort of his own that would have seen play continue.

JP Poston holds on to win the Memorial....Final Results, Canadian scores

   PGA Tour : Memorial Tournament  Leaderboard Results

J.T. Poston built a four-shot lead Sunday morning in the rain-delayed Memorial and won the biggest tournament of his career. It just turned out to be a lot more work than he would have imagined.

JT Poston had not won a PGA Tour title since 2024

Poston, who lost his lead after 12 holes, made a 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to salvage an even-par 72 and force a playoff with Ryan Gerard, and then won on the second extra hole when Gerard missed a 6-foot par putt.

Gerard made a 40-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to briefly take the lead, closed with a 68 and didn't really make a mistake over the final four hours until the final putt.

So ended the longest day for both of them — 33 holes, including 13 in the morning to complete the third round and two playoff holes. But what a payoff for Poston in so many ways. He had not finished in the top 20 in his previous 13 tournaments this year. And then he delivered the goods and celebrated with a handshake with tournament host Jack Nicklaus.

“A lot of holes, a lot of grit,” Poston said. “Obviously, didn’t play my best first 12, 13 holes, but I told myself I knew I was going to shake Jack’s hand walking off 18, and I wanted to be proud of that handshake regardless of how it turned out. So I’m thrilled it happened this way.”

The perks went beyond the $4 million prize. Poston earned a spot in the next three majors with one great week — high enough in the world ranking to avoid a 36-hole qualifier Monday for the U.S. Open, the one British Open spot available this week, and a return to the Masters.

They finished at 12-under 276 after Poston and Gerard pulled away from what had been a five-way tie for the lead with an hour to go in the tournament.

Tommy Fleetwood drilled a fairway metal to 5 feet for eagle on the par-5 15th. Wyndham Clark made a late surge. Sam Burns was never too far behind. All of them were at -11 under heading to the final few holes.

Scottie Scheffler, trying to join Tiger Woods with a third straight victory at the Memorial, was never in the mix for so much of the week. He closed with a 71 and tied for 12th

Rory McIlroy is now 0 for 14 at the Memorial. He birdied his first three holes before getting caught in dense rough that slowed his momentum. He shot 68 and tied for 12th.

Nelly Korda wins a close US Women's Open, Canadian scores...Final Results

    USGA : US Women's OpenLeaderboard 

Nelly Korda's  2 1/2-foot putt on the 72nd hole to win the US Women's Open, caught the left edge, and it toured half the circumference of the hole while the gallery watched in disbelief. When it finally fell amid an outburst of gasps and roars, Korda put her hand over her open mouth before she laughed at the absurdity of her sport.

This trophy was the cool treat Korda wanted more than anything: She won the 81st U.S. Women's Open on Sunday for her second consecutive major victory, holding off Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez by one shot.

The 27-year-old Korda claimed her fourth major overall with a steady -2 69 in the final round —  but only after her second putt on the 18th came perilously close to a spin-out that would have forced a three-way playoff.  When it dropped, Korda had her fourth LPGA Tour victory already from a season in which she also has three second-place finishes in just eight starts.

She finished at 8-under 276 and celebrated with a tear-streaked face after sharing the lead with multiple competitors throughout the windy finale of the first Women's Open ever held at this venerated 100-year-old country club in Pacific Palisades.

Amateur Aphrodite Deng of Calgary finished T17th at even par, while Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls Ont., finished T22nd at +2
