Below is a list of how Canadian golfers fared across the major professional tours the week prior.

PGA TOUR

Patrick Cantlay rallied from a four shot deficit to score a one-stroke victory at the ZOZO Championship. It was Cantlay’s third win of his career. Jon Rahm had a chance to force a playoff, but narrowly missed from 15 feet on the 17th and from 20 feet on the final hole. Justin Thomas, who started the round with a one-shot lead, had to scramble for par on the last two par 5s to finish in a tie for second and deny Rahm a chance at taking over the No. 1 world ranking. …Corey Conners notched his first top 10 result since last year’s ZOZO Championship. …Mackenzie Hughes was 11-under par on the par 5s over the course of four rounds.
