Photo Submitted From Cr!er Media

In light of the recent RBC Open played at the Hamilton Golf & Country Club we received the following press release from Griff Bordignon and wanted to pass it on which we do when we get articles from Cr!er Media.

They also submitted the photo along with the article.

Enjoy the read:

Good morning from a rain-soaked Hamilton Golf & Country Club, where Scotsman Robert MacIntyre holds a 4-stroke lead over Ryan Fox, local player Mackenzie Hughes, and Benjamin Griffin. 

The rain shouldn’t affect the conditions or the golfers. Last year, at a similarly rain-soaked Oakdale, Canadian Nick Taylor took the title. Will history repeat itself this year? Only time will tell.

One player to watch is last year’s runner-up, Tommy Fleetwood, who shot a 70 on Friday but rebounded with an impressive 64 yesterday. 

He and his partner for today, Sam Burns, are just one stroke behind the tie for second place with Fox, Hughes, and Griffin. 

If any of these players, including MacIntyre, falters on this rainy Sunday,

Tommy could potentially have a great day and win his first PGA Tour event. It’s worth noting that, like Fleetwood, MacIntyre has yet to secure a career tour win.

The day started with Rory McIlroy on the first hole, but I was focused on following the local player, Mackenzie Hughes.

Mackenzie got off to a good start, birdieing three of the first four holes of the day. However, two bogeys on holes 5 and 9 have left the Dundas native feeling a bit unsettled. 

Still, he managed to shoot a 33 through the first nine holes, something I could only dream of achieving.

By the time Mackenzie reached the Rink, he had parred the first three holes on the back nine. Unfortunately, a bogey on the Rink dashed his hopes for consecutive strong performances.

The story of the day was all about Robert Macintyre. 

Despite having some challenging moments that nearly opened the door for players like Victor Perez and Tom Kim, MacIntyre, with his father by his side, ultimately secured his first career PGA Tour win at the Hamilton Golf & Country Club.

For the second year in a row, the tournament concluded with a great story and a memorable ending. Golf Canada did a fantastic job, and Hamilton Golf & Country Club proved to be an excellent venue for the event. 

Now, we look forward to the 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley.
