Victoria Golfer Qualifies for First PGA Tour Start at RBC Canadian Open

On Sunday, June 7, 22-year-old Jeevan Sihota secured his first PGA Tour start by qualifying for the 2026 RBC Canadian Open, finishing tied for third with a three-under-par 68 at The Pulpit Club in Ontario.
Sihota's qualification followed a two-stage process, beginning with regional qualifying at Highland Pacific Golf Course in early May, where he placed among the 10 golfers advancing to the final stage.
His round featured six birdies, including three consecutive ones on holes 11, 12, and 13. "I felt really good, this is a really good track," Sihota said in a release on Golf Canada's website.
The 2026 RBC Canadian Open runs June 11-14 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley's North Course, featuring a $9.8 million purse and a field including Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood.
Other British Columbia connections in the field include A.J. Ewart, Nick Taylor, Adam Hadwin, and Adam Svensson, while Nolan Thoroughgood narrowly missed a spot after finishing tied for seventh.
