Robert MacIntyre produced a dazzling finish on Saturday to lead the RBC Canadian Open by four strokes going into the final round.
Birdieing the 14th, 15th and 16th, the Scot then eagled the par 5 17th, with a closing par giving MacIntyre a comfortable buffer going into the final round at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.

Searching for a first PGA Tour title, MacIntyre’s last win came at the Italian Open back in September 2022, the 27-year-old will have to hold off challenges from some big names, with hometown hero, Mackenzie Hughes, in pursuit, alongside Ben Griffin and Ryan Fox.
Last year, Nick Taylor became the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open and, following a third round 67, Hughes is just four back at 10-under. Alongside him are Griffin, who is looking for a first PGA Tour win, and Fox, who is also searching for a first scalp on the PGA Tour.
Within the chasing pack is last year’s RBC Canadian Open runner-up, Tommy Fleetwood, who is five back, as well as Sam Burns, Trace Crowe and fan favorite, Joel Dahmen.
