From Yahoo!Sports, by Riley Hamel/ USA Today:
Wyndham Clark started his week with a late run at U.S. Open qualifying and ended up earning a spot in next week’s major championship at The Country Club. The vibes are still high for the 28-year-old as he leads the RBC Canadian Open after two rounds.
Clark began his Friday with seven straight pars before putting his first shape on the card, a circle coming at the par-3 8th. After another birdie at the par-5 11th to get to 2 under on the day, Clark played his last seven holes 2 over for an even-par 70. Read more

RORY MCILROY IS tied for second and just one shot off the lead at the Canadian Open after a two-under 68.
The Holywood man shares the position with American duo Alex Smalley and Keith Mitchel and Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick, all on six-under overall.
Wyndham Clark leads the field in Toronto, one ahead after following up his stunning opening-day 63 with a 70. Read more
From Fox Sports:
Aussie Cameron Smith looked set to miss the cut after a disastrous six-over first round but soared back into contention with a five-under par 65 to sit eight shots off the pace.
It included a stunning hole-out eagle on the fifth. Read more
From Calgary Herald, by Jon McCarthy:
Five of the world’s top ten players came north and, after two rounds, three of them head to the weekend inside the top 10. It’s a welcome reward for a tournament that had been hijacked by bombshells in the war between the PGA Tour and the new Greg Norman-led LIV Golf Series.
On a beautiful day in Toronto, and on a golf course that began to show its teeth, the top of the leaderboard stood still as first-round leader Wyndham Clark followed Thursday’s 63 with a level-par 70 and still leads by one at seven-under. Read more
From The Globe and Mail, by John Chidley-Hall:
Punishing, deep rough and strong winds kept scores high at the RBC Canadian Open and helped Wyndham Clark hold on to his lead at the PGA Tour event for a second day.
The American shot an even-par 70 on Friday afternoon to sit at seven-under-par 133 overall and maintain his one-shot lead. He saved par on No. 18 when his shot from a greenside bunker went nearly 49 feet and stopped within five feet of the hole. Read more
From PGA TOUR News, by Adam Stanley:
TORONTO, Ont. – Even though Rory McIlroy has a different caddy this week at the RBC Canadian Open, it hasn’t seemed to impact his performance through 36 holes.
McIlroy’s usual caddy, Harry Diamond, is at home as he and his wife are expecting their second child any day.
The defending RBC Canadian Open champion is using long-time friend Niall O’Connor instead. O’Connor caddied for McIlroy once before, at the 2019 DP World Championship in Dubai. The pair met in their late teens. Read more
