Five co-leaders at 6 under after first round of RBC Canadian Open
Four golfers stormed up the leaderboard to join Sahith Theegala in a five-way tie for first after one round of the RBC Canadian Open.
Theegala fired a 6-under 64 during the morning wave at TPC Toronto to take the first-round clubhouse lead and then Emilliano Grillo, Eric Cole, Brooks Koepka and Sam Burns matched that performance in the afternoon.
Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., was in a nine-way tie for second, a shot back of the leaders.
A heavy rainfall around 10 a.m. local time softened the North Course, but as the temperature rose in the afternoon birdies remained gettable.
Reigning champion Ryan Fox of New Zealand shot a 4-under 66 to sit in a tie for 15th.
Fox was in the day’s marquee group with Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., who won the national men’s golf championship in 2023. Taylor was 3 under.
