RBC Canadian Open purse, payouts: Bud Cauley grabs inaugural PGA Tour win in Toronto, earns U.S. Open spot
Finally, Bud Cauley is a winner on the PGA Tour.
Cauley held on late to claim the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday afternoon. He posted a 5-under 65 in a rainy final round at TPC Toronto, which gave him a two-shot win over the rest of the field.
The win was the first of Cauley's career, and it came in what was his 239th PGA Tour start. Before Sunday, Cauley had never finished better than third since he earned his Tour card back in 2012. Only four other guys on Tour have had more starts without a win.
The win also secured him a spot into the U.S. Open next week. Cauley, who entered the tournament at No. 68 in the Official World Golf Rankings, needed a fifth-place finish or better to earn a spot in the field at Shinnecock Hills.
Cauley entered the final round a shot back after his 66 on Saturday. Jackson Suber birdied the final hole on Moving Day to take the solo lead, but he quickly fell back on Sunday to open the door for the rest of the field.
But Cauley took off. After making the turn at 2-under on the day, he rattled off three straight birdies on the back to suddenly build up a three-shot lead. The second birdie in that stretch came after a wild chip-in from the thick rough, which gave him the solo lead.
Cauley added another birdie at the 15th for good measure to briefly push his lead to four. From there, he just held on the rest of the way to secure his win. He even pulled out a ridiculous save after slipping down a slope into a bunker on the 18th.
Along with his entry in next week’s major championship, Cauley also earned a spot in the British Open next month.
Matt Fitzpatrick finished alone in second at 15-under, which actually moved him into first in the FedExCup standings, though Scottie Scheffler is just six points behind him.
Brooks Koepka withdrew from the tournament before Sunday's round with a hand injury, too. Koepka entered the weekend just two shots off the lead, but had fallen down 25 spots on the leaderboard after a rough Moving Day. He said he was struggling to grip the club after his third round, and received treatment on his left arm and elbow. Koepka's status for the U.S. Open next week is now unknown.
Here's a look at how much Cauley and the rest of the field earned this week in Canada.
