2018 RBC Canadian Open Fantasy Sleeper Report

This year’s majors have served up some stellar golf so far, and the British Open from Carnoustie did not fail to deliver either.

The lead changed hands a remarkable eight occasions, leaving punters and spectators on the edge of their seats as the action unfolded.

Perhaps fittingly, given the blustery conditions, it was the man who kept his head best while all around him lost theirs that lifted the Claret Jug.

Francesco Molinari, up until six months ago, would have cut an unlikely major winner, but the Italian has worked hard on his game behind closed doors and has recently been rewarded with victories on both sides of the Atlantic; aided tremendously by a much improved putting stroke.

It was that flat stick that ultimately got the job done on Sunday as Molinari left himself a few knee-tremblers, but the confidence that comes with winning was clear for all to see. While bogeys and doubles were being dropped all over the property, the Italian kept his scorecard completely clean.

And so we head into the meat of the 2018 season. There are just four FedExCup qualification events to go – two with full points allocations, and the last major of the campaign, the PGA Championship, is just a fortnight away.

The RBC Canadian Open is of importance then, and you can forget that narrative which suggests the big guns won’t fancy the job after battling it out in the British Open. Tiger Woods, Jason Day and Brandt Snedeker have all won this event, with Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm finishing second, so don’t be fooled: the cream of the crop tend to give it a good go at Glen Abbey GC.

And why not? This course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is perfect for low scoring, with minimal rough and slow-enough Bentgrass greens minimizing danger and doing little to further shatter the confidence of those on edge after four days on the Links. You can really cut loose with the driver here, particularly on the four par 5s, and you suspect Glen Abbey is a really fun course to play if you have the skillset to put it to the sword.

Ryder Cup places, FedExCup points….there’s lots to play for in Oakville, Ontario this week, and with rain in the forecast the players could be greeted by easy, soft conditions.

It may be something of a birdie fest then, so who is well placed to take advantage?
