Monday qualifiers: RBC Canadian Open

Four spots in the RBC Canadian Open’s 156-man field were up for grabs via the Monday qualifier. The 18-hole open qualifier was contested Monday, May 27, at TPC Toronto's North Course in Toronto, Ontario. In total, 105 players competed for four spots, with the four qualifiers advancing to compete at this week’s RBC Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf and Country Club.

American Adam Long earned medalist honors with a 5-under 65, with Canadian Michael Blair finishing second thanks to a 2-under 68. Fellow Canadians Maxwell Sear and amateur Jakob Chicoyne emerged from a 3-for-2 playoff (beating out James Seymour) for the final two spots after posting a trio of 69s.

The qualifier and subsequent playoff were completed Tuesday morning, after Monday's competition was marred by multiple weather delays.
