PGA Results: 2015 RBC Canadian Open

PGA TOUR RBC Canadian Open Dates: July 23-26 Venue: Glen Abbey Golf Club, Oakville, Ont., Canada Jason Day has been coming so close to victories in the major championships over the years with many top five finishes and several misses by one shot, like the Open Championship two weeks ago. Perhaps the pressure of winning a non-major is easier to deal with? One might conclude so following the victory of Jason Day at last week's RBC Canadian Open. Perhaps it was simply a case of a lot of experience dealing with pressure down the stretch. It was looking good for Canadian golfer David Hearn coming down the final nine holes. Hearn was hoping to be the first Canadian to win the RBC Canadian Open in 61 years. But Jason Day rallied with three consecutive birdies on the final three holes to seal the victory in front of his not-home home of Canada? Wait what? See below.

"I've never felt so much at home, and I'm not even from Canada. I'm looking forward to coming back and defending the title here next year because I know that when I get here next year it's going to be the same. It's great to feel like a Canadian for a week." ~Jason Day

One highlight of Day's round was on the par-4 17th, where he launched a massive 386 yard drive. Wow. EUROPEAN TOUR Omega European Masters Dates: July 23-26 Venue: Cans-sur-Sierre GC (Severiano Ballesteros Course), Crans-Montana, Switzerland This week's European Tour story is similar to the PGA Tour angle, regarding players who came close in the Open and win the following week. In this case the player is England's Danny Willett. In the waning holes of the Open Championship Willett was in position to win, but like Day was not able to close the deal. Willett held off fellow English golfer Matthew Fitzpatrick by one shot to close out the win at the Omega European Masters. The win marks Willetts third on the European Tour. Willett was tied for the lead heading into the final round and fired a flawless bogey-free round of 65 to claim the one-stroke victory. LPGA TOUR Meijer LPGA Classic Dates: July 23-26 Venue: Blythefield Country Club, Grand Rapids, Mich. Popular LPGA golfer Lexi Thompson captured her fifth victory on the LPGA Tour this past week at the Meijer LPGA Classic presented by Kraft. Thompson's final round featured eight birdies en route to a 65 and a one stroke margin of victory over Gerina Piller and Lizette Salas.

“It feels amazing. It still hasn’t really hit me yet because everything happened so fast. But it was a great day out there and we had perfect weather for it, so couldn’t ask for anything more.” ~Lexi Thompson

This week's victory marks the fifth LPGA Tour win for Thompson.
