RBC Canadian Open: The numbers behind Rory McIlroy’s victory at St. George’s Golf and Country Club

The Irishman came out on top in a high-class, three-way shootout with Tony Finau and Justin Thomas.

With Thomas and Finau carding final-round 64s, McIlroy needed his top stuff and he delivered with a glorious round of 62.

His driving was as good as always; his putting was solid – but it was his work with the wedge that stood out and helped him over the line.

Further down the field, the likes of Justin Rose and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler showed positive signs ahead of next week’s third major of the year at Brookline.
