Early Rounds
This year’s Canadian Open had more drama than an NHL playoff game, starting with Cristobal del Solar’s opening-round 61 that set the course record at the newly redesigned TPC Toronto. The Chilean’s performance was so hot it could have melted the nearby Niagara Falls.
Cameron Champ took control on Friday with his jaw-dropping power and silky putting, reaching 12-under through 36 holes. But the weekend turned into a transcontinental duel between Italy’s Matteo Manassero and New Zealand’s Ryan Fox, who matched each other shot-for-shot with third-round 64s to share the 54-hole lead at 14-under.
Final Round Fireworks
Sunday delivered all the tension we expected from a pre-major championship event. Fox and Burns separated themselves from the pack, with Burns posting a stellar 65 to set the clubhouse lead at 12-under 260. Fox, playing in the final group, needed to birdie the par-5 18th to force a playoff – and the big Kiwi delivered with a clutch two-putt from 40 feet.
Playoff Drama
The sudden-death playoff started on the 18th hole, where both players made pars. Moving to the drivable par-4 16th, Fox showed why he’s one of the game’s most underrated players.
After Burns found the greenside bunker, Fox unleashed a towering 3-wood that settled 25 feet from the pin. His eagle putt came up just short, but the resulting tap-in birdie proved enough when Burns couldn’t get up-and-down from the sand.
For those who backed Fox at +2500 this week, enjoy spending those Canadian dollars! Our top handicappers may not have been on Fox last week, but he’s fully on the radar now. The playoff victory delivered a perfect 2-for-2 success rate for Fox in PGA TOUR playoffs – a stat worth remembering for future events.
Notable Performances
- Sam Burns (2nd): Continued his strong season with another close call
- Matteo Manassero (T3): His best finish in North America since 2013
- Cameron Champ (T5): Showed his game is rounding into form for Oakmont
- Cristobal del Solar (T8): Proved his opening 61 was no fluke
Looking Ahead to Oakmont
Several players used this week as the perfect U.S. Open tune-up. Fox’s victory makes him one of the favorites at Oakmont, where his power and improved wedge game could prove decisive. Burns’ consistency (his 10th top-10 of the season) suggests he’s ready to contend in a major, while Manassero’s ball-striking display bodes well for the precision test awaiting at Oakmont.
