Quick Update: RBC Canadian Open
It’s been an odd start to the Canadian Open.
With the exception of Nick Taylor, none of the guys at the top of the leaderboard have won an event in years, some of them haven’t won one at all.
Of course, the biggest story, or at least the one garnering the most attention from the media, is Rory McIlroy missing the cut by 12 strokes.
When asked if he was concerned, he said “I'm still sort of searching for the missing piece off the tee. Obviously for me, when I get that part of the game clicking, then everything falls into place for me. Right now that isn't. Yeah, that's a concern going into next week."
On a much brighter note, Cameron Champ leads after two rounds at 12-under.
Although he has 3 tour wins to his name, he hasn’t won in a few years and even lost his Tour Card last season. He was the 8th alternate this week and didn’t even think he’d end up in the field.
He played his first 36 holes bogey free.
The Rest Of The Field…
Andrew Putnam sits solo second after carding a bogey-free 62 in the 2nd round. His only Tour victory came at the 2018 Barracuda Championship.
Thorbjorn Olesen, who shared the first-round lead after a strong 61, followed up with a 70 and is now tied for third at 9-under.
Joining him are Canadians Richard Lee (64) and Nick Taylor (65), the defending champ from last year’s event at Oakdale, as well as France's Victor Perez (65).
Cristobal Del Solar, the other first-round co-leader, shot a 71 to sit at 8-under. He's alongside Shane Lowry (68), Ryan Fox (66), Jake Knapp (69), Sam Burns (66), and Matteo Manassero (65).

Thing We’d Buy: Heritage Collection
Simplify and golf.
The Players Series bag embodies the Jones motto by naturally appealing to those who prefer to experience the course on foot. With minimal and understated aesthetics, it equips you with everything you need in a golf bag and nothing you don’t.
Three pockets provide ample storage for enough necessities to keep you covered for a round or two. The increased mesh sleeve will now accommodate larger water bottles to keep you hydrated, and the re-enforced inner liner will withstand the abuse from the walking golfer.
That’s A Wrap…
