TORONTO -- Warm sunshine pierced the overcast sky during the first round of the RBC Canadian Open, even as the PGA Tour event was overshadowed by other news in the world of golf.
Wyndham Clark held on to his clubhouse lead to finish the first round of the Canadian Open atop the leaderboard. No one in Thursday afternoon's wave came close to the American's bogey-free 7-under 63....
Matt Fitzpatrick sat second, a shot behind Clark, at the 111th edition of Canada's national men's golf championship. Doug Ghim and Harold Varner III were tied for third at 5 under. Varner was the only player in the afternoon to crack the top three. Read more
From Toronto Star, by Jason Logan:
At 7:02 a.m., under clouds that lingered after overnight rain, the all-Canadian trio of Mackenzie Hughes, Adam Hadwin and Mike Weir began their rounds and were followed by the featured group of McIlroy, the 2019 champion, Thomas and Corey Conners, of Listowel, Ont.
Decent-sized crowds, even at that ungodly hour, cheered loudly when Hughes and Hadwin made birdies to begin.
Hughes had them roaring louder with an eagle on his third hole of the day — the par-5 11th — and, at 3 under through three holes, he briefly held the lead. Talk about a good start to your first RBC Canadian Open in three years. Read more
