In addition to the previous year, when it was flipped with a memorial tournament on the schedule, the RBC Canadian Open has worked directly as an important tune before the US Open.
Rory McLero, who remembered the Memorial last week before a visit to the Toronto region, certainly liked it in this way.
Mcilroy and some aristocrats of the game include 24 Canadian golfers, when the RBC Canadian on Thursday to win its national championship to win the RBC Canadian Open Tees at Opre Valley in Calledon, Ontario in TPC Toronto.
Northern Irishman said, “Before playing in this event, 2016, 2017, 2018, I missed three cuts in a row at the US Open, and since playing Canadian Open a week ago, I had six top 10s in a line,” said North Irisman. “So there is something.
“But then, of course, playing in front of Canadian fans and with that other enthusiasm, you only get to see such a golf once a year, so I think it comes once, it is actually appreciated.”
Mcilroy set fire to the beginning of the season, his three wins capted to end their major championship drought with a long -awaited success in the masters and to complete the career Grand Slam. The Canadian Open PGA will compete for the first time since finishing 47th in the championship, which was the lowest of the season.
The two -time Canadian champion (2019, 2022) is expected to score in form for next week’s US Open, as he is now.
World No. 2 player McLaroy said, “I will prefer to bring myself into the mixture in the weekend and there will be an opportunity to do so … It will be the right way to finish the week and is going towards the US Open with one eye.”
Mcilroy is only one of the eight players in the world playing this week, a group, including Sweden’s Ludwig Eberg, Irishman Shane Lori and Defending Champion Robert McIntire.
McIntire defeated Ben Griffin with a stroke last year to win his first PGA tour, then won his National Open, Scottish Open a month later. He and McLero have the same stance on the importance of national opening in their game.
“Being from Europe, we have opened up a lot of nationals – the Scottish Open, French Open, Spanish Open, an incident in Belgium, in Austria last week,” said McIntire. “… There are a lot of Canadian players this week, who clearly want to win Canadian Open. Everyone wants to win this week, but it just adds an additional incentive to Canadian people as it is open, and I think the crowd also manufactures it.”
Corey Cours (No. 21) remain the top Canadian in the official world golf rankings, and he is sixth in the tournament twice in the last three years.
Nick Taylor wanted to stay in the next line after Nick Taylor broke the 69 -year drought for Canadian people at his national championship in 2023.
“Listoval, Ontario, growing up as a young child, playing golf every day, to see RBC Canadian Open, it was a childhood dream to play in the event one day,” said the conversion. “… I think I feel lucky in that situation.”
The only male Canadian lead champion Mike Wear, will play in his record-hang 32nd Canadian Open. On Thursday and Friday, an all-calendians threesome include Taylor, McCenzie Hughes and Taylor Pendrith.
TPC Toronto starts its tournament and PGA Tour. The players will navigate a par-70, 7,389-yard course, which was given a renewal before his arrival.
