RBC CANADIAN OPEN - MEGA PREVIEW
As a Canadian who is close to TPC Toronto this is the biggest tournament of the year for me. So let's get into it.
COURSE:
TPC TORONTO - NORTH
PAR 70, 7389 YARDS
Greens:
Bent Grass / POA Annua
Weather:
Winds expected to be high throughout the week getting rain this week though so seems like course will play soft again sadly. Wind will make a difference I believe though.
Winning Score Last Year:
Ryan Fox (-18) (Playoff over Sam Burns)
How Fox Won: (SG - PER ROUND)
OTT: +0.26 (Rank - 31)
APP: +1.86 (Rank - 6)
ARG: +0.21 (Rank - 22)
PUTT: +0.67 (Rank - 16)
HOW TO WIN AT TPC TORONTO:
You can't be wild off the tee. Only 2 players lost strokes OTT in the top 18 however they ranked top 50 in driving accuracy and misses were marginal.
Players 2nd to T-13 all ranked top 26 in driving accuracy.
Not a separator course with the par 5s being score able and the long par 4s not presenting a lot of birdie looks however not a lot of trouble
Long course need to be good with long irons.
Top 5 players in the event were 16th, 9th, 6th, 1st and 7th in putting. However only McCarty reached over 5.1 SG putting at 7.2. So you need a complete profile here.
Ball striking matters more here than the average tour event.
10 of the top 13 players were top 25 in scrambling for the week.
