See who played their way into RBC Canadian Open via Sunday qualifier
Four determined golfers earned the final exemptions into the 2026 RBC Canadian Open by excelling at Sunday’s Final Qualifier on June 7 at The Pulpit Club in Caledon, Ontario. The 18-hole event awarded the top four finishers spots in Canada’s national open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. Amateur Eric Zhao of Toronto and Laurent Desmarchais of Cowansville, Que., shared medalist honors with 4-under 67s. Jeevan Sihota of Victoria, B.C., and Vince Covello of Philadelphia, Pa., followed at 3-under to complete the quartet. These local and international hopefuls battled an 84-player field for the coveted opportunities. Their success highlights the open qualification pathway that gives club pros, amateurs, and journeymen a shot at PGA Tour competition against stars like Nick Taylor, Corey Conners, and international headliners.
