Overview
- Cauley closed with a 5-under 65 on Sunday to finish at 17-under 263 and win the RBC Canadian Open, his first PGA Tour victory in his 239th start.
- The 36-year-old rebuilt his career after a 2018 crash that left him with multiple broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a fractured leg and he celebrated the win with his family on the 18th green.
- Jackson Suber held the 54-hole lead but faltered in the final round as Cauley produced a decisive back-nine run to move past the younger contender.
- Ben James, who led after 36 holes in his professional debut, shot an eight-over 78 in the third round and fell out of contention, while Brooks Koepka withdrew before the final round citing numbness that raised questions about his fitness for the U.S. Open.
- The victory secures Cauley a U.S. Open spot, will boost his world ranking and FedEx Cup position, and shifts late-week qualification and momentum for players heading into the major at Shinnecock Hills.
