"Support’s been phenomenal": Local star Mackenzie Hughes eyes ‘loudest day’ at RBC Canadian Open 2025 finale

Mackenzie Hughes shared his thoughts on being a proud Canadian after posting a low score at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open. Hughes is playing at the PGA Tour event this week, and he finished at T6 after posting a total score of 12-under. Hughes had his lowest score in the tournament in the third round with a 64.

Following the round, Hughes joined a press conference at the TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley and talked about the Canadian support he received in the home venue. He said (via ASAP Sports):

“It's maybe a little inflated, but there was a few today. It's a lot of fun. I'm very proud to be Canadian. It's a great country. I'm very proud to be from here. I can feel that pride out there for us and just for people being Canadian. Yeah, really enjoying it. Like I said, the support's been phenomenal, and I hope tomorrow it's the loudest day yet.”

Mackenzie Hughes continued about his experience of playing the overall third round, adding:

“I've been putting the ball in play quite a bit, driving it pretty nice. I feel like that's taken some pressure off the putter and the short game. It's a big key around here. You start driving it well, you can attack and be aggressive. I was able to do that today for the most part.”

Mackenzie Hughes will play the last round of the tournament on Sunday, June 8.
