McIlroy to defend RBC Canadian Open title at Oakdale Golf and Country Club

Rory McIlroy takes aim at three-peat at RBC Canadian Open

Rory McIlroy is aiming to three-peat at the RBC Canadian Open and make golf history, but Matt Fitzpatrick and a deep pool of talent will do their level best to stop him.

“They do tend to feel a little bit extra special if you if you’re lucky enough to win,” Fitzpatrick said of national championships. “The Canadian history is obviously very long with some fantastic winners.If McIlroy wins the Canadian Open again, he’ll become only the fourth three-time champion, joining Tommy Armour, Sam Snead and Lee Trevino. Leo Deigel’s four victories are the most in the 119-year history of the storied tournament.

The Canadian Open was first held in 1904 and is one of the oldest golf tournaments in the world. A Canadian hasn’t won it since Pat Fletcher accomplished the feat in 1954. The Canadian Open has also become a cultural event, with a concert series dubbed RBCxMusic held on the second and third nights of the tournament.
