Overview
- Bud Cauley won the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday with a 17-under total of 263 to claim his first PGA Tour title.
- He shot a 5-under 65 in the final round, including a multi-hole birdie run and a chip-in, to pull away down the stretch.
- England’s Matt Fitzpatrick finished second at 15-under after a closing 64 and Norway’s Viktor Hovland was third at 14-under.
- Brooks Koepka withdrew before the final round citing a hand problem, a development that has raised questions about his fitness for next week’s U.S. Open.
- The win comes on Cauley’s 239th Tour start and completes a comeback from a 2018 car crash that fractured his leg, broke ribs and collapsed a lung, while also affecting major entries and momentum for several players.
