Nick Taylor shot a course record -9 63 to move up 39 spots T8 -11 and he's not in the lead, and that's just for starters.

"There's a lot of people up there around the lead" summed it up by Rory McIlroy who has shot himself in contention for his 3rd consecutive RBC Canadian Open 67 66 -12 and he's not alone.
His life long pals, Ryder Cup teammates Tommy Fleetwood (64) and Justin Rose (66) are in at -12 as is another Englishman Harry Higgs (67) and two Americans Mark Hubbard (66) and Andrew Novak (67)
However all of them are chasing the little man from Taiwan CT Pan, now 31 with the RBC Heritage under his belt as his lone PGA Tour win. He put a capper on a sensational day of scoring on this Oakdale (composite) course with a birdie, birdie finish (66) to begin the Sunday shootout at -14 for a two shot lead.
Now for the Canadian side of the story and there is a legitimate chance for the 69 year old drought to end with light rain in the afternoon forecast.
Nick Taylor won't play much better than he did today, but he begins 3 back T8 at -11 (75 67 63). He couldn't make a putt on Thursday, that may cost him)
Corey Conners has been solid all week 67 69 70 -10 in 10th place, he lost a little ground on Saturday but the way he is putting the ball in play, a big finish is possible.
Adam Hadwin T16 71 68 70 -7 seems too far back, but Oakdale GC is yielding a birdie barrage, which is what he will need.
Taylor Pendrith T24 69 72 70 -5
Roger Sloan T33 69 70 73 -4
Wil Bateman T54 74 66 75 -1 couldn't capitalize on his super 66 Friday.
Mike Weir T58 72 70 74 E will enjoy the applause one more time today
Stuart MacDonald T58 73 68 75 enjoying his week off from the Korn Ferry Tour
