B.C. golfer Nick Taylor 1st Canadian to win Canadian Open since 1954, prevailing in playoff

Canadians waited 69 years for this moment. So what’s another four holes?

Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., won the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday at Toronto’s Oakdale Golf and Country Club, becoming the first Canadian man to win at home since Pat Fletcher in 1954.

“To kind of break that curse, if [that’s] you want to call — I’m pretty speechless. I don’t think it’s going to sink in for quite some time what happened today,” Taylor said.

What happened was 22 holes of golf filled with highs and lows — and a career-defining putt at the end of it all.
