I'm happy Scheffler won. I like it when the champions elevate like that. For his brilliance it felt a bit light that he only had two majors, both at Augusta. So it's good to see him expand and there's IMO a big difference between winning two and winning three.

He's also won a gold medal so needs to win the British Open and US open to do what no golfer has ever done.
I don't mind him being boring, that's just his personality. Better than most golfers these days who seem to throw their toys when things aren't going right.

nah Tiger gave you something to get excited about.

@mariner4life I misread your post, assumed you meant personality wise, rather than on the course.

Foxy tied for lead at -14 at the Canadian Open, I think the top 3 get entry to the US Open next week.

Let's go Foxy! Would be awesome to see him pull off another good finish and a ticket to the US Open.
Over in Europe flying the Kiwi flag is Daniel Hillier who is tied for 28th place at the KLM Open in the Netherlands. Hillier is in the Top 10 in the Race to Dubai Rankings and if he can hold onto a Top 10 place in the rankings at the end of the season he will earn himself a PGA Tour Card for 2026.

Missed it by a fucking mile.
A @majorrage putt if ever I’ve seen one. Needs to birdie the 18th go force a play off.
Outside a serious meltdown, his us open entrance is set.

drained it...playoff time
-
Foxy missed, the other guy missed a very makeable one, go again
-
They go again...Foxy left the putt short, was very similr to the one he missed 10 mins earlier
-
he did it!
HAd a 3 or 4 ft eagle and 2 putts to win, used both putts
Edit- putt was more.like 6-8 ft 😄

How good!! Way to go Foxy! Huge win for him.
Becomes the 2nd kiwi to win the Men's Canadian Open after Sir Bob Charles in 1968.
He earns himself almost $NZ 3 Million, 500 Fedex Cup points, a spot in next week's US Open, starts at the 2026 Masters, Players Championship, and PGA Championship as well as a PGA Tour exemption through till the end of 2027.
