2025 RBC Canadian Open purse, payouts: Ryan Fox beats Sam Burns in a long playoff to earn spot at the U.S. Open
Ryan Fox is headed to the U.S. Open after his win at the RBC Canadian Open. ()
It took him four playoff holes, but Ryan Fox is headed to the U.S. Open after all.
Fox outlasted Sam Burns in a long playoff at TPC Toronto on Sunday afternoon to claim victory at the RBC Canadian Open. The win marked the second of Fox's career, both of which have come this year, and it officially gave him one of the final spots in the field at next week's major championship.

Fox, on the fourth playoff hole, landed his second shot just past the cup after taking dead aim at the relocated pin. That set up a two-putt birdie, which was enough to seal his win. Burns, who also landed on the par-5 green in two, three-putted for his par. All four playoff holes were played on the par-5 18th.
"To be honest, Sam and I had a bit of a pillow fight there for three holes. It was some pretty average golf from both of us, some average putting," Fox said on CBS. "But that shot I hit on 18, the 3-wood, was probably the best shot I've ever hit."
Burns, after spending what felt like forever in the clubhouse, went back out and had a great look to immediately end the playoff on the first hole. But Burns, after spinning his approach shot back to about 5 feet, sent his birdie look past the hole. That sent him and Fox back to the 18th tee to run it back.
The two guys parred again on the second and third playoff holes — Burns had to go up and down on the third to stay alive — so they went back for a fourth hole. That's when Fox finally sealed his win.

Burns erupted early on Sunday, despite starting well back from the leaders. He posted his 8-under 62, which marked his lowest final-round score in his Tour career and was just a shot shy of matching his career round. Burns, after making the turn at 2-under on the day, rattled off five straight birdies on the back nine. He hit five approach shots within 10 feet of the cup on the back nine, too, en route to his 29. That gave him the clubhouse lead.
Then, Burns had to wait. But as he sat there in the clubhouse watching, his lead kept holding. Cameron Young came close multiple times, but then he made a bogey on the final hole after his approach shot into the par-5 went well past the green and into the trees.
Finally, though, Fox caught up to him. Fox, after making back-to-back birdies late in his round, sank a 17-footer for birdie at the final hole to force the playoff with Burns.
Kevin Yu finished alone in third at 17-under. Young and Matt McCarty finished in a tie for fourth at 16-under.

Fox now has two Tour wins to his name, though he's won eight times internationally — including at the 2023 BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour. He picked up his inaugural victory at the OneFlight Myrtle Beach Classic, which he also won in a playoff last month. Fox, who entered this week at No. 75 in the Official World Golf Rankings, needed a top-three finish this week to make it into the field at the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. Fox's win, which will move him to No. 32 in the world, also earned him a $1.76 million check.
The event this week carried a $9.8 million purse. That's roughly half of what is offered at the PGA Tour's signature events, which each carry purses of at least $20 million. The Players Championship leads the way with $25 million up for grabs. By comparison, Scottie Scheffler earned $4 million for his win at The Memorial Tournament last weekend.
Here's a look at how much Fox and the rest of the field earned in Toronto.

Scottie Scheffler Reveals Concerning Message Ahead of The U.S. Open
Scottie Scheffler Reveals Concerning Message Ahead of The U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The U.S. Open is back this week, and it's shaping up to be one of the most anticipated majors of the year. With Oakmont Country Club hosting, fans and players alike know it's going to be a brutal test of both physical skill and mental endurance. Known for its tight fairways, deep rough, and lightning-fast greens, Oakmont doesn't leave much room for error. The lowest winning score at this venue? Just 5-under. Advertisement Scottie Scheffler, fresh off wins at the Memorial and the PGA Championship, enters as the betting favorite but he's not letting the noise get to him. 'The U.S. Open compared to the Masters is a completely different type of test. I think in the Masters you have a lot more shot making when you get around the greens,' Scheffler said at his press conference Tuesday. Scottie Scheffler looks at the trophy on hole No. 18 after the final round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Course on Madar/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Scheffler, currently the world number one, offered a unique perspective on how the U.S. Open differs from other majors. 'It's just a different type of test,' he said. Comparing it to tennis, where majors are played on different surfaces. "When you miss a green at the Masters, the ball kind of runs away and it goes into these areas and you can play a bump, you can play a flop," Scheffler said. He emphasized how strength and precision will be key, saying, ' Here, when you hit the ball over the green, you're just getting some heavy rough and it's like, let me see how I can pop the ball out of this rough and somehow give myself a look.'

US Open gets a peaceful day of practice ahead of tough test that awaits at Oakmont
Associated Press OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Serenity at Oakmont could be found Wednesday morning when Rory McIlroy stood on the first tee as the sun rose against a hazy sky on the horizon. He was playing with his best mate in golf, Shane Lowry, their final practice before the U.S. Open. The peace gets shattered as soon as the score starts to count. Even with Scottie Scheffler in full flight as the No. 1 player in golf, even as McIlroy tries to build on his dream moment of being the Masters champion, as Bryson DeChambeau gets a chance to see if his brawn can handle this rough, there has been one name — Oakmont — that rises above all others going into the 125th U.S. Open. 'Oakmont is relentless,' said John Bodenhamer, the chief championships officer at the USGA who sets up the course for the toughest test in golf. 'There's no letup. It's a grind. That's the U.S. Open.' It gets started on Thursday with Matt Vogt, the former Oakmont caddie now an Indiana dentist, selected to hit the opening tee shot. Jon Rahm, who won his U.S. Open four years ago at Torrey Pines, made his debut at Oakmont in 2016 when he was fresh out of Arizona State. He shot 76 on the first day, went 1-over par the rest of the way and finished as low amateur. Even with changes to the course from a restoration project, including a ditch that now meanders across the landing area in the 10th fairway, the Spanish star has a better idea what to expect. 'You're aware of what a golf tournament here is going to be like. It's going to be a challenge,' Rahm said. 'A lot of unfortunate things are going to happen. It's hard fairways to hit, bad lies, difficult bunkers, difficult greens. It's going to be a nice test, a difficult test, and I think one of the truest representations of what a U.S. Open is all about.' Dustin Johnson set the Oakmont scoring record for a U.S. Open at 276 when he won in 2016. The USGA mentioned a few other numbers that also describe Oakmont, mainly the 5-inch rough so dense at the bottom there were no guarantees a golf ball might be lost. Another number had historical context — only 27 of the 1,385 players who have competed in a major championship at Oakmont finished under par. That includes when Oakmont, now a par 70, was played as a par 71 or par 72. 'Our mantra is tough but fair,' Bodenhamer said. "And what does that mean? It's pretty simple. It's not about the score. It's about getting every club in a player's bag dirty, all 15 of them — the 14 in their bag and the one between the ears. And we work hard on that. 'And that's how we've gone about our business here at Oakmont.' The other number that stands out is 10 — the number of times the USGA has brought its marquee championship to the course built to be tough in 1903. No other course has held the U.S. Open more often. The USGA has been accused over the years of trying to protect par, which it long has denied. Johnny Miller remains the only player to win the U.S. Open with a 63 in the final round, in 1973 at Oakmont. The following year, Hale Irwin won at 7-over par in what became known as the 'Massacre at Winged Foot.' It also fed into the belief that par matters. In some respects, it does. Bodenhamer was asked what score would indicate the USGA didn't get it right. 'Interesting question,' he replied. 'Off the top of my head, something in double digits. I've said this before, we don't want 20 over to win and we don't want 20 under to win. It might be tough. It might not be tough enough. There's a number in there somewhere." Scheffler is in search of the third leg of the career Grand Slam after winning the PGA Championship by five shots at Quail Hollow last month. Scheffler has won his last three tournaments — all in a five-week stretch — by a combined 17 shots. 'What is he doing? Well, everything,' Justin Thomas said. "It's effortless. Every single aspect of his game is unbelievable. I think his mental game is better than anybody out here. To be able to play with those expectations and to stay present as often as he has to me is maybe more impressive than even the golf he's playing. 'He just doesn't make any mistakes and almost kind of lets himself be in contention versus forces himself in contention. He just seems to be playing better.' If there is a common trait among U.S. Open champions at Oakmont, strength would be on the list. Johnson won in 2016, Angel Cabrera in 2007, big Ernie Els in 1994. The first of 18 professional majors by Jack Nicklaus and those powerful legs came at Oakmont in 1962. 'I'd say there's definitely a strength factor coming out of the rough,' Scheffler said. 'I don't really know if this is a golf course you can necessarily just overpower with a bomb-and-gouge type strategy, especially with the way the rough is.' Scheffler's strength, much like Tiger Woods, is knowing where to miss and playing the angles. That works almost anywhere. Almost. 'There's not really many areas where you step on the tee box and you're like, 'Hey, I can miss it right here; hey, I can shade towards the left side of the fairway because right is really bad,'' he said. "Actually, if you hit it in the right rough, you're probably not going to get it to the green. If you hit it in the left rough, you're probably not going to get it to the green. So might as well try and split the difference there and hit it in the middle.' Sounds simple enough. It rarely is at Oakmont. And that's just the way the USGA likes it. ___ AP golf:
