RBC Canadian Open 2019: Red-Hot Rory McIlroy Shoots Career-Best 61 to Earn Win

Rory McIlroy shot 61 in his final round Sunday to match the lowest round of his career and win the 2019 RBC Canadian Open by seven strokes.

The 30-year-old grabbed a share of the lead after shooting 64 in Round 3, but he was on fire in Round 4 to torch the field at Hamilton Golf & Country Club in Ontario, Canada. He finished 22 strokes under par for the tournament, well clear of Shane Lowry and Webb Simpson in second place.

The performance helped McIlroy win his second PGA Tour title of the season, which combined with his 10 top-10 finishes in 13 events should give him a lot of momentum heading into the 2019 U.
