Low Canadian each year at RBC Canadian Open

text size

Jul. 23, 2011

Although they've been in contention on a number of occasions, no Canadian golfer has won the RBC Canadian Open since Pat Fletcher in 1954. Fletcher won by four strokes that year at Point Grey Golf Course in Vancouver -- which is the city that just happens to be hosting this year's tournament (at Shaughnessy).

Fletcher, in fact, remains the only Canadian golfer to win his country's national championship since the tournament resumed play following four years of cancellation during World War I.

Here's a list of the low Canadian in each year of the event:
