2026 RBC Canadian Open 36-Hole Recap & Highlights

The 115th RBC Canadian Open has moved into the 36-hole checkpoint at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, where the national championship story now has history, Canadian energy, low scoring, and a crowded chase all stacked together. What began in 1904 at Royal Montreal as a 36-hole event is now one of the oldest national championships in golf, and Ontario is again right in the middle of the stage.

CaddyBytes β›³ 2026 RBC Canadian Open 36-Hole Recap: The second-round highlight reel opened with the bigger picture: the RBC Canadian Open's deep roots, Ontario's long connection to the championship, and the 2022 partnership that made TPC Toronto and Osprey Valley part of Golf Canada's home base. Once the coverage moved back to the course, the day had the same feel as the scoreboard β€” birdies were available, but players still had to control distance, spin, and the slopes.

The par-3s kept producing noise. The 14th had extra energy after an earlier ace from Lipsky, while Dylan Wu nearly made the 11th look too easy with another strong look at the flag. Those moments matched the tone of the round: TPC Toronto was giving players chances, but a lot of the best shots still had to be played with precision rather than just aggression.

Keith Mitchell made one of the stronger moves in the highlights package. He birdied the 11th, backed it up at the 12th, and kept pushing with a well-controlled shot at the 14th. That momentum shows up on the board, too, with Mitchell sitting at 9-under after rounds of 67-64.

The Canadian flavor stayed alive in different ways. Laurent Desmarchais, a Monday qualifier playing his national championship, soaked in the moment with the home crowd and hockey-country atmosphere around him. Adam Svensson also put himself in the thick of the tournament, reaching 9-under with rounds of 66-65.

There were also highlight shots that explained why the leaderboard tightened. A long approach into the 13th from nearly 268 yards showed how aggressive players could be when the angle was right. Jimmy Stanger nearly jarred his tee shot at the par-3 4th, and Tommy Fleetwood finished with the kind of late-round push that moved him to 8-under heading into the next stage.

By the end of the checkpoint, the scoreboard had flipped from a first-round sprint into a real chase. James B. is out front at 10-under after a second-round 63, while Sam Burns, Haotong Li, Keith Mitchell, Jackson Suber, and Adam Svensson are all one shot back at 9-under.

Scoring pace: The new lead number is 130, with 63s from James B. and Bud Cauley showing how far a player can climb when the wedge game and putter line up. The chase is still tight: only two shots separate first from the 8-under group.

Canadian angle: The home-country story remains alive with Anderson M. sitting at 7-under and Adam Svensson sitting one off the lead line at 9-under. With the board this packed, the weekend setup still leaves plenty of room for a Canadian charge.

36-hole takeaway: This championship is not separating slowly. James B. owns the lead, but the scoreboard is bunched tightly enough that Burns, Li, Mitchell, Suber, Svensson, Fleetwood, Fox, Koepka, Stanger, Cauley, and Garnett are all still close enough to change the shape of the weekend with one clean run.

Key weekend themes: The par-3 energy, Canadian crowd noise, Mitchell's surge, Svensson's position, Fleetwood's late move, and the 63s from James B. and Cauley now frame the RBC Canadian Open heading into the weekend. TPC Toronto is still gettable, but the highlights show the separator clearly: control the spin, use the contours, and make the mid-range putts when the round gives you chances.
