Nick Taylor became the first Canadian in 69 years to win his national open, holing a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole to beat Tommy Fleetwood in the RBC Canadian Open.

Fletcher was born in England; Carl Keffer had been the only Canadian-born champion, winning in 1909 and 1914.
The 35-year-old Taylor, who was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, won for the third time on the PGA Tour.
