Final Round Stakes and Leaderboard Overview

Tournament Context Ahead of the U.S. Open
The 2026 RBC Canadian Open, the PGA Tour’s third major and final stop before the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, is viewed as a crucial test of form and confidence ahead of the next major championship.
Key Contenders and Their Seasons
Jackson Suber seeks his first PGA Tour win after a tie for fourth at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson three weeks earlier. Bud Cauley, a 36-year-old journeyman, also chases his maiden title. Wyndham Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, entered with a Byron Nelson win. Brooks Koepka withdrew with a hand injury. Ben James fell from a 36-hole lead to a tie for 59th after a 78 in round three. Billy Horschel, struggling all season, posted a 64 to stay in contention.
Weather-Driven Schedule Adjustment
PGA Tour officials moved tee times to 10:30 a.m. ET and started players in threesomes from both the first and 10th tees to avoid the 85 % chance of rain forecast for the Caledon area.
Koepka’s Hand Injury and Withdrawal
Koepka withdrew before the final round, citing numbness and loss of grip in his ring and pinkie fingers, raising questions about his readiness for the upcoming U.S. Open.
