Who's your pick?

I think ( I hope ) Rickie Fowler may win this week

Another one to watch is A.K after his performance last week.

Looks like a nice course they're playing

One missed cut the entire season? Sure it was last week but he is probably the 'in form' golfer of the year minus Luke Donald

Yeah...terrible form

One 2nd, one 3rd, 8 top 10's and 12 top 25s

EDIT: Hopefully someone can fix the RBA and turn it into RBC ( it's my bank FFS and I screwed it up! )

He isn't playing up to his standards. He hasn't been striking it as well lately (From what I've seen).

I also said he wasn't in 'great' form. I didn't say anything about him being in 'terrible' form as you think I said. Sorry for apparently being wrong though

I didn't say you said he was in terrible form? I said "terrible form"

Either way, he is in great form. His results speak to that.

This course is tree lined like crazy so anyone who's accurate with their irons and can scramble will do well.

With that said, I can see Donald, Kuchar, Fowler, Mahan (due to his great driving) and Furyk doing well.

I want to say AK but he's a little too wild off of the tee lately and this course will eat you up if you aren't consistently on the fairway.

Kieran123, you can change the title yourself. To the right of the title should be a 'change title' option. I've had to use it a few times myself

Who are the big names in the field this week, other than the RBC tour staff? Vancouver is a long way from the UK (even further than Toronto), so I would have assumed this to be a skip for anyone not contractually obligated to be there.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

Hey, you the guy who spent the bulk of last year's short Canadian Open thread trashing the eventual winner because he's a poor putter, ball striker, etc. This might in reality be a second tier event, but Canadians refer to as "The Open", so, "grain of salt" and all that.

Canada has some very good players and some very good courses, but their national championship has filled one of the worst spaces on the PGA Tour schedule since the FedEx Cup playoffs usurped its traditional September date. Travel is always going to be a point of concern for the Canadian Open as long as it is scheduled immediately after the Open Championship; holding this year's event in Vancouver (1000 miles farther from London than Toronto nonstop, 2000 miles farther with a stopover in Toronto) presented an enormous logistical challenge for a tournament that has a hard time attracting elite players in the first place. It's a testament to the tournament's pedigree and RBC's involvement that the field is as good as it is this week.

My pick, Matt Kuchar, is in real danger of missing the cut. Finished at +5 and is currently T84th. I sure can pick them (had Luke Donald last week)

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
