Nick Taylor sank a stunning 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole to defeat England’s Tommy Fleetwood and become the first home nation player since 1954 to win the Canadian Open.
Taylor ended the 69-year drought on the par-5 18th hole at Oakdale for his third career US PGA Tour title.
“This is for all the guys that are here. This is for my family at home. I’m speechless. This is the most incredible feeling ever,” said the Canadian champion, who was in tears as spectators raced out of the grandstands and onto the green to celebrate the victory after he had fired a six-under-par 66 to match Fleetwood on 17-under 271 for 72 holes.
Spectators cheered him all around the course, “Every hole they were egging you on,” he said. “Then in the playoff when the rain was coming down, it gives you the energy to keep going, keep focused.”
