Scottish golfer Robert MacIntyre holds a commanding lead heading into the final day of the Canadian Open. His strong finish in the third round put him at 14 under par, four shots ahead of his closest competitors. Mackenzie Hughes, Ryan Fox, and Ben Griffin all share second place at 10 under. England’s Tommy Fleetwood is also in contention after a bogey-free 64.
Rory McIlroy made a strong push with a 65 in the third round, moving him to seven under and back into contention. Despite feeling like he could have played better, McIlroy is optimistic about his chances for the final day. The world number three is hoping to close the gap on the leaders.
MacIntyre’s impressive performance included a late surge of birdies and an eagle on the 17th hole. Despite a slow start, MacIntyre stayed focused and fought back to maintain his position at the top of the leaderboard. Having his father Dougie as his caddy this week added a personal touch to his strong showing.
As the tournament heads into its final day, MacIntyre will look to secure his first PGA Tour title. With several players still within striking distance, including strong performances from McIlroy and Fleetwood, the Canadian Open promises an exciting conclusion.
