HAMILTON – The RBC Canadian Open’s new date is a clear winner, its new identity is a work in progress. There has always been a contingent of golf fans and analysts that want our national open to play like, well, a national open. The Irishman, however, sees the RBC Canadian Open in a kinder light. Depending who you ask, the RBC Canadian Open is either a rising PGA tour stop, a warmup-up event, a prestigious national open, or the Holy Grail. The new date means we are squarely in the shadow of our big neighbour’s national open, but the great field suggests there are benefits in that.
