2015 RBC Canadian Open Discussion Thread

Really fun final round. As much as I don't care to watch pros with those long putters, I was kinda pulling a little for Hearn today.

Glad Day eked it out though. He's gotta be a top 2 or 3 pick for the PGA.

Jason Day is DJ with clutch. This was a huge win for him today. After how The Open ended along with just the overall length and drag with travel, to turn around and have a clutch final round and final few holes; that takes some mental strength. Impressive win. Hope he does well at Whistling.

Its been a while coming. JD has been knocking on the door of a break though.

Although not a major its a great stepping stone to bigger events.

Hard not to like the emotion he showed when he drained that put on 18.

Good to see Jason bounce back from the disappointing finish of The Open with a win. I really want to see him win a major now.

Yeah, it is great to see emotion like that in a smallish event like the RBC. 18th hole dramatics with the other two contenders watching from the fairway.

Just a FYI, Binghamton Senators fan here.  Seen quite a few games up there.  Someday, I'd like to take a little longer trip to see the big boys play.

I would probably be a mini mob scene if he does pull it off.   Not to wish any ill will on anyone, he does have two big guns breathing down his neck.  I think one of those two will take the prize.

Cool! Hopefully Ottawa can keep up the momentum from last year's miracle run. Canadian Tire Centre is a nice arena! Worth the drive up here, especially during the playoffs!

I'm happy that Jason Day got the win! It's sucks though for Hearn didn't pulled it off. Oh well, there's always next year! Now 61 years & counting....

CBS unusually generous w/providing slo mo vids on its YT channel:

I didn't watch this weekend, but apparently Jason Day drove the ball prodigious lengths. 56 drives, averaging 321 yards? Hyperbole of headline aside, I bet Watson wasn't far behind. Day's average approach yardage - 129.

According to the PGA Tour, Day averaged 321 yards off the tee for the week, the biggest burst with a driver since the laser-guided Shotlink scoring and measurement system was first used in 2003. In other words, not even in the desert climes of Palm Springs or the altitude of Tucson had anybody ever man-handled a course to this degree.

He didn't seem too worried about hitting fairways, with these stats. 37.5% of the fairways. I didn't watch it, but was the rough easy to navigate?

The article doesn't match up with the stats below, which has Bubba as the longest.

Day is currently 2nd on the driving distance stat on the tour, behind DJ and in front of Bubba.
