Taylor Pendrith paces group of Canadians off to hot start at 2025 RBC Canadian Open
Three of the top Canadians in the field at the RBC Canadian Open are off to as hot of a start as the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals. Less than 24 hours after the Oilers rallied from a 3-1 deficit to take an overtime win in the first game of a best-of-seven series, Ontario's Taylor Pendrith birdied four of the first seven holes on Thursday and capped off the day with a birdie at 18 to shoot a 5-under 65 at TPC Toronto's Opsrey Valley (North Course) in Caledon, Ontario, and share the early clubhouse lead in the first round. Advertisement 'It's the week that we look forward to every year,' he said of competing in the RBC Canadian Open for the fifth time. 'So it was a lot of fun.' Adding to the enjoyment was the friendly grouping with good friends and fellow Canadians Nick Taylor and Mackenzie Hughes. Taylor, who became the first Canadian in 69 years to win his national open after holing a 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole in 2023, birdied two of the first three holes and sat atop the leaderboard until he bogeyed 18 and settled for 66. Hughes had the shot of the morning, making eagle at the par-4 fifth by holing his second shot from 194 yards. His usually dependable putter was performing a bit off key and he pulled up the rear of the marquee threesome with a still-respectable 2-under 68. On a wet morning that caused the PGA Tour to implement preferred lies for the first round, the Canadians still drew the home faithful to watch them – raindrops be damned. Advertisement 'It was great out there,' Pendrith said. 'I felt like the crowd really filled in on the back nine. Nick was making some birdies, and I was making some birdies. Mack holed a 6-iron on 5. So it was a lot of fun. The crowd was into it. Nice to see a lot of people out here on a rainy day. Yeah, we had a blast out there, and we all played pretty well.' Taylor Pendrith of Canada hits his tee shot at the third hole during the first round of the RBC Canadian Open 2025 at TPC Toronto in Caledon, Ontario. The weather was an annoyance but it softened the course, which is hosting its first Canadian Open, and resulted in good scoring conditions. Alex Smalley and Paul Peterson matched Pendrith with 65. 'It was umbrella up-and-down,' said Taylor, who noted he felt bad for caddie Dave Markle "because the bag was probably 60 pounds.' Advertisement 'I took my rain jacket on and off ten times,' Pendrith added. 'The crowd built over time, once the rain kind of went away. I don't blame them.' Pendrith arrived at TPC Toronto with positive vibes, having played two Mackenzie Tour events at the venue before, including having a chance to win once. 'Also played numerous rounds here with my friends from home in carts and music, so I feel pretty comfortable on the grounds,' he said. Pendrith, one of the Tour's best bombers, led the field in Strokes Gained: Off the tee and rolled in three birdie putts of more than 10 feet, including an 18-footer at No. 3. At the 229-yard par-3 seventh, he drilled his tee shot inside 5 feet and sank the putt. Advertisement 'You're not expecting to make birdie there,' Pendrith said. 'That was a bit of a bonus.' Two dozen Canadians are in the field this week competing for a winner's prize of $1.76 million, as well as the Rivermead Cup, which is awarded annually to the low Canadian. Hunter Thomson shot 67, the third-lowest score by a Canadian after Pendrith and Taylor.

Quarterback Marcus Crandell signs one-day contract to retire as a Calgary Stampeder
CALGARY - Marcus Crandell has signed a one-day contract with the Calgary Stampeders so the 51-year-old can officially retire a member of the club. Crandell quarterbacked the Stampeders to a Grey Cup victory in 2001 in the first of his four seasons in Calgary. 'To the Calgary Stampeders organization, thank you for taking a young man who was born in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, but raised in the small town of Robersonville, North Carolina, who had big dreams of becoming a professional quarterback,' Crandell said Thursday in a statement from the Stampeders. 'This organization is truly a class act when it comes to professional sports.' Crandell threw for 4,072 yards and 26 touchdowns in 2022, but his play over the final stretch in 2021 was remarkable. The Stampeders were 5-9 in October when Crandell threw nine touchdown passes without an interception in three wins over the final four games of the regular season to snare a playoff berth. In the Grey Cup, Crandell threw for 309 yards and tossed two touchdown passes when Calgary stunned the favoured Winnipeg Blue Bombers 27-19 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium. He was named Grey Cup MVP. 'I'm very happy that Marcus gets this opportunity to retire as a member of the Stampeders,' said club president Jay McNeil, a former Calgary offensive lineman who was Crandell's teammate during the latter's four seasons as a Stampeder. 'I'll never forget Marcus's contributions to our Grey Cup championship in 2001. We had a slow start and had to win the final game of the regular season just to get into the playoffs. 'We believed in ourselves when nobody else in the country gave us a chance but we hit our stride down the stretch and it was Marcus leading the way, capped off by an MVP performance in the Grey Cup game.' Crandell also played for Edmonton from 1997 to 1999 and for the Saskatchewan Roughriders from 2005 to 2008. He was an offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach for Saskatchewan, Edmonton and the Ottawa Redblacks after he retired as a player. Crandell will attend Calgary's first game of the 2025 season Saturday when the Stampeders host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He will join fellow Grey Cup-winning alumni Doug Flutie, Mark McLoughlin, Nik Lewis, Jeremaine Copeland, Jon Cornish and Alex Singleton as the team celebrates its 80th birthday. 'I am grateful for all the time spent in the city of Calgary and performing in the presence of some of the best fans in the league,' Crandell said. 'Another blessing is to have played for a great coaching staff assembled by the legend Wally Buono. 'Many thanks go out to my teammates for the hard work they displayed day in and day out as we strived to achieve success.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 5, 2025.

Happ homers, has 4 RBIs on 3 hits as Cubs down Nats 7-1
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ian Happ homered and drove in four runs on three hits, Pete Crow-Armstrong added his team-leading 16th home run and Chicago Cubs beat the Washington Nationals 7-1 on Thursday night to earn their seventh consecutive series victory. Colin Rea (4-2) allowed five hits over 5 1/3 scoreless innings after opener Drew Pomeranz completed a clean first as the Cubs won the rubber game and their 16th of their last 21 games overall. Washington's Jake Irvin (5-2) allowed three runs over five innings, including Crow-Armstrong's two-run shot in the first and Happ's run-scoring double — good for his 500th career RBI — in the second. Luis García Jr. singled in the Nats' run in the ninth. Happ connected for his two-run, 405-foot drive off the facade of the third deck in right field against Jackson Rutledge in the sixth. In the ninth, he followed Reese McGuire's run-scoring infield single with his own RBI single to center off Eduardo Salazar. Caleb Thielbar entered for Rea with two aboard and a 5-0 lead in the seventh. García fouled out, then after Robert Hassell III's single loaded the bases. Thielbar froze CJ Abrams with a 2-2 curveball over the zone to escape the jam. Up next Cubs: Haven't named their Friday starter yet, but will open their series in Detroit against reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubel, who has pitched 16 consecutive scoreless innings in his last two starts. Nationals: Continue their homestand against Texas, opening the series against former teammate Patrick Corbin (3-4). The left-hander spent the previous six seasons with Washington and was its last remaining player from the 2019 World Series-winning team. Righty Michael Soroka (2-3) goes for the Nats.
