A little Sunday reading before the leaders tee off. On the state of the game and where this national open of ours sits in the midst of it … and why 🇨🇦 might be able to teach a thing or two to those deciding the future of pro golf. #RBCCanadianOpen

I asked Rory if a win would be more significant with what has gone on this week. He said not necessarily but offered this: “I'm pretty sure what's going to happen over the final 18 holes here is going to be more entertaining than what other golf was played this week anywhere else

Here’s the quote: "Personally I went around traffic, and I was following cars -- a Lexus car that was one of the courtesy cars. I just thought it was a bit of an overreaction. A lot of people were doing it. He was in a courtesy car, too, so I don't know what kind of caused it."
