Robert MacIntyre and Ryan Fox have never held a 36-hole lead on the PGA Tour before, but they enter the third round at the RBC Canadian Open tied atop the leaderboard at 10-under par.
MacIntyre, who hails from Scotland, carded a 4-under 66 during the morning wave on Friday to soar to the top. With his father on the bag, MacIntyre has yet to drop a shot so far at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.
Meanwhile, Fox, the New Zealander who won last year’s BMW PGA Championship, birdied his 18th hole on Friday evening to sign for a 6-under 64.
Two shots behind MacIntyre and Fox sits PGA Tour fan-favorite Joel Dahmen, who shot a bogey-free 5-under 65 on Friday. It has been a while since Dahmen had a late tee time on the weekend, so understandably, the former Washington Husky is excited about the opportunity.
“We’ve prepared for this,” Dahmen said.
“I believe I should be here; it’s where I’m supposed to be, so I’m excited to hit golf shots under the gun over the weekend. I haven’t done that in a long time, so I’m excited for that.”
Three players sit one stroke back of Dahmen at 7-under, including Canadian MacKenzie Hughes, who has received overwhelming support all week. England’s David Skinns and American Andrew Novak are also 7-under.
