PGA Tour Brunch | RBC 🇨🇦 Open
Second Round Coverage of the 2026 RBC Canadian Open | Toronto
CALEDON (Ontario) - It’s getting crowded up there!
The 2026 RBC Canadian Open first round marks the second time since 1970 that there are six or more co-leaders after 18 holes of the 🇨🇦 Canadian Open (7 in 2008). In fact, this year’s tournament is tied for the second most 18-hole co-leaders on TOUR this season (7/PGA Championship, 6/Charles Schwab Challenge).
Sam Burns (T1/-6) shares the 18-hole lead one year after finishing runner-up in the 2025 RBC Canadian Open (defeated by Ryan Fox on the fourth playoff hole). Burns owns three top-10 finishes in four previous starts in the RBC Canadian Open (T4/2022, MC/2023, T10/2024, 2nd/2025) and has not recorded a score worse than 68 in five career rounds at TPC Toronto.
Sponsor exemption and Mississauga, Ontario native Matthew Anderson (T1/-6) is making his fourth career PGA TOUR start this week (three prior starts were all in the RBC Canadian Open: MC/2019, MC/2024, T47/2025). Anderson played primarily on the Korn Ferry Tour over the last two years, totaling five top-25 finishes in 38 starts; owns one PGA TOUR-sanctioned title at the 2024 69th ECP Brazil Open on PGA TOUR Americas.
Twelve players are tied at 5-under, one shot off the lead, including six players seeking their first PGA TOUR title: Sam Ryder (240 career starts), David Skinns (89 starts), Jimmy Stanger (30 starts), Doug Ghim (184 starts), Chandler Blanchet (19 starts), Patrick Fishburn (68 starts)
Of the six PGA TOUR winners tied at 5-under, they have combined for 15 total wins: Tony Finau (six), Ricky Castillo (one), Brice Garnett (two), Adam Svensson (one), Erik van Rooyen (two), Shane Lowry (three).
Nine players recorded bogey-free rounds, including Surrey, British Columbia native Adam Svensson (T7/-5), 2016 and 2017 RBC Canadian Open winner Jhonattan Vegas (T32/-3) and 2024 winner Robert MacIntyre (T55/-2)
Defending champion Ryan Fox (T19/-4) sat 4-under through his first 11 holes before pars on his final seven.
Matt Fitzpatrick (T32/-3), the highest-ranked player in the field (OWGR No. 4) sits three back after opening with a 67.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout (T32/-3) records his first career hole-in-one on TOUR at the 214-yard par-3 seventh.
