Nick Taylor and Tommy Fleetwood came into the final round tied and had to enter a playoff, where Taylor sank a stunning eagle to nab victory from Fleetwood, who had to settle for a P2 finish.
Rory McIlroy came into the final round 12 under par and that's exactly where he finished. It may be a bit disappointing given that he finished five shots behind the leaders, but it was yet another strong showing at the Canadian Open.
There was a time after McIlroy ascended to World No. 1 that he began to fall apart at the Masters and other tournaments. He hasn't returned to that prestigious ranking, but he's playing extremely well of late.
Matt Fitzpatrick also had a chance at winning but had a less-than-stellar final round to finish eight under par. The Englishman was in contention for the win but will have to settle for a tie for 20th.
Ludvig Aberg, fresh off earning his PGA Tour membership after dominating collegiately, showed out during the weekend, posting a wondrous -7 showing that earned him a tie for 25th place.
Harry Hall, who briefly took the world by storm at the Charles Schwab Challenge, continued his solid form. He finished six under par to further cement himself as someone to keep an eye on.
Sam Burns, Michael Block, Hank Lebioda and many others fell short of making the cut and were not able to play the final round.
