Quick Update: Canadian Open

Robert MacIntyre and Ryan Fox are tied for the lead at 10-under, just two ahead of fan favorite Joel Dahmen.

But only one of them has their dad on the bag - that would be Bobby Mac.

"After the news of last week (Grayson Murray's death) things are a lot bigger than the game of golf. We are human beings and I've put my dad on the bag and we are just trying to enjoy it as much as we can because we don't know how much longer we have got of that.”

Pretty cool.

What About Everyone Else?

Mackenzie Hughes (our top 5 pick) is the lowest Canadian on the board.

The aforementioned McIlroy actually played better hungover in the first round than he did in the second round. He’s 8 off the lead at 2-under and T30.

David Skinns, Trace Crowe, Sam Burns, and Andrew Novak are all within striking distance.

With Rithmm

New Feature: Live Odds & Predictions

With Rithmm's live odds, your outright finisher predictions will update throughout the round.

This allows for you to be even more strategic with how you use Rithmm's ai-backed predictions.

Here's how Live Odds + Predictions works: Let's say your favorite golfer has a really bad few holes, but you think they'll right the ship and get back on track. A bad few holes would cause a golfer's odds of finishing as the outright Winner, Top 5, Top 10, and Top 20 all to worsen, which is an opportunity for you to get major value at your sportsbook.

Now, you can pull down to Refresh Rithmm's predictions throughout the round, so you can see that golfers updated odds in real-time and change the way you watch the action.

Create custom Golf betting models, get ai-backed picks for outright Winners, Top 5, Top 10, and Top 20 Finishers, and use Rithmm's AI Caddie to live bet every hole for every golfer and change the way you watch the Schwab.

If you're betting on the Canadian Open, you NEED to be using Rithmm. Custom betting models, AI Caddie, and data-backed predictions for the entire tournament.

Shots Heard Round The World

🐅 When Tiger Ignores Analytics. Back in 2003, a decade before Mark Broadie’s seminal paper invented modern golf statistics as we know them—even a year before ShotLink recorded its first shot—Tiger Woods came to the third tee wanting to hit his patented long-iron stinger. His caddie, Steve Williams, had “no question in [his] mind” that Tiger should hit driver to get closer to the green. Tiger eventually conceded to his caddie and hit driver. He hit it terribly. He refused to say a word to Williams for another six holes, and Williams considers the dispute the biggest on-course conflict he had with Woods. Read
