CALEDON (Ontario) - Coming on the footsteps of Italy’s Francesco Molinari back in 2019, Matteo Manassero (T1/-14) is seeking his first PGA TOUR title in his 50th start on the circuit. His best finish in 49 prior starts on TOUR was a T8/2014 Valspar Championship.
Manaserro could become ninth first-time winner on TOUR this season and first since Ryan Fox (ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic). Manasesero would be 18th player to earn his first TOUR title at the RBC Canadian Open and second consecutive Robert MacIntyre(2024).
Manaserro’s (193) marked his lowest 54-hole total on TOUR (previous: 198/2024 Genesis Scottish Open).
Tied for 1st is Ryan Fox (T1/-14) who seeks his second PGA TOUR title in his 71st start at the age of 38 years, 4 months, 16 days. Fox earned first PGA TOUR victory in a playoff over Mackenzie Hughes and Harry Higgs at ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic.
Fox could become the fifth multiple winner on TOUR this season (Rory McIlroy/3, Scottie Scheffler/3, Ben Griffin/2, Sepp Straka/2).
Fox holds a 54-hole lead/co-lead for first time on TOUR (previous best 54-hole position: T2/2024 RBC Canadian Open).
