"We are just making the plays we are supposed to make," said Rolan Milligan.
For the first time since 1954, a Canadian has won the Canadian Open.
Winnipeg-born Nick Taylor defeated England’s Tommy Fleetwood on the fourth playoff hole Sunday at the Oakdale Golf and Country Club in Toronto to win the PGA event.
Taylor became the first Canuck to win on home soil since Pat Fletcher 69 years ago.
Taylor, 35, made a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole for the win. It was his third victory in 245 career PGA starts.
The Canadian opened the tournament with a 75 on Thursday before carding a 67 on Friday and a course-record 63 on Saturday. He fired a six-under 66 on Sunday, with a birdie on the par-5 18th hole Sunday that gave him the clubhouse lead.
Playing in the final group, Fleetwood tied Taylor with a birdie on the 17th. He could have won in regulation with a birdie on the last, but he made par for a final-round 67 and the pair went to a playoff.
They tied the first three extra holes – they played the 18th twice and the par-3 ninth hole once – before Taylor drained the winning putt on the 18th.
According to CBS, it was the longest putt Taylor has made in his PGA career.
