McIlroy appears to have bought into the idea of contesting a tournament right in the meat of the PGA Tour schedule
When the new date for the RBC Canadian Open was announced last spring at Glen Abbey, there was an understandable sense of giddiness about the place.
I will cop to a sense of relief myself, in that it meant that I wouldn’t have to write another column about the lousy July date, which along with stories about how no Canadian had won the tournament since Pat Fletcher, could now pretty much be reeled off from memory. The importance was not lost on the tournament organizers, who announced the inclusion of the 29-year-old from Northern Ireland on the heels of his win at The Players Championship in Florida.
Crawford adds that he expects more golfers who have not traditionally made the trip to Canada to be part of the field at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in June. Defending champion Dustin Johnson, naturally, will be there, as will various RBC-sponsored pros and the usual whack of Canadians. But while the strength of previous fields has often been determined by how well the RBC pros happen to be playing, Crawford said he hopes to see other top-10 and top-25 Tour players in the field this time.
