Rory McIlroy, currently ranked third in the world, enters the RBC Canadian Open with confidence and determination. Having claimed victory in last year’s edition by a margin of two shots over Tony Finau, McIlroy aims to repeat his success from last year. Joining McIlroy in the field is Matt Fitzpatrick, the eighth-ranked player in the world and the reigning US Open champion. Coming off a commendable tie for ninth place at Muirfield Village, Fitzpatrick brings momentum from his victory at April’s RBC Heritage.
