2026 RBC Canadian Open Leaderboard: Round 1 Standings

Five players share the lead at the 2026 RBC Canadian Open after a low-scoring opening round at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. Brooks Koepka, Sam Burns, Eric Cole, Sahith Theegala, and Matthew Anderson all posted 6-under 64 on Thursday to sit one clear of a crowded chase pack. Round 2 began Friday morning, and the 36-hole cut and the weekend still lie ahead.

RBC Canadian Open leaderboard after Round 1

The top of the board is tightly bunched. Five players are tied for the lead at 6 under, a deep group sits one back at 5 under, and defending champion Ryan Fox is well within range at 4 under. The par-70 North Course gave up plenty of birdies on day one, so the leaders had little room to coast.

Brooks Koepka and Sam Burns headline the leaders

Brooks Koepka is the marquee name at the top. The five-time major champion opened with a 6-under 64 and put himself in front of a field that thinned out when several players skipped the week before the U.S. Open. Sam Burns, a multiple PGA Tour winner, matched him stroke for stroke and gives the leaderboard a second proven closer.

Eric Cole, Sahith Theegala, and Matthew Anderson round out the group at 6 under. Theegala has the best recent pedigree of the three, while Cole and Anderson will look to prove their opening round was no fluke as the course firms up over the weekend.

Withdrawals and a U.S. Open tune-up

The field lost a handful of names before the first tee shot. J.T. Poston withdrew after winning the Memorial Tournament, choosing to prepare for the U.S. Open rather than play a fourth straight week. K.H. Lee, Michael Kim, and Brandt Snedeker also withdrew, opening spots for alternates including Justin Lower, Lanto Griffin, and David Skinns.

The timing matters because the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills is next week. Several stars are sitting this one out, which is part of why a 64 was good enough for only a share of the lead. For the players who did show up, a strong week here is both a paycheck and a confidence builder heading into the year’s third major.

Betting and DFS angle for Round 2

This is a get-it-while-you-can leaderboard. The North Course played soft and scorable in Round 1, the field is not at full major-week strength, and the gap from first to the top 20 is just two shots. That favors aggressive, birdie-heavy profiles over plodders, so lean on players with strong approach and putting numbers who can keep the throttle down.

Koepka and Burns are the safest bets to stay in the mix given their track records, but the value sits in the 5-under group, where a name like Tony Finau can post a low number and jump the board in a hurry. With nobody separating from the field, live and outright prices should stay fluid all weekend.
