Nick Taylor rolled in a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole yesterday, becoming the first Canadian to win the RBC Canadian Open in 69 years.

NORTH YORK - For the first time in 69 years, a Canadian has won the RBC Canadian Open.

Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, British Columbia rolled in a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole at Oakdale Golf & Country Club in North York. It was the longest putt of his pro career.

He was tied with England's Tommy Fleetwood at 17-under after 72 holes.

Pat Fletcher was the last Canadian to win the men's national golf championship back in 1954.
