US EditionCanadian Pair Right in the Running as McIlroy Crashes Out of Canadian Open
- Nick Taylor and Richard T. Lee both shot low rounds on Friday at the Canadian Open held at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, positioning themselves among the leaders.
- Their strong performances followed Rory McIlroy's struggle, who failed to make the cut after shooting an eight-over 78 and will not compete this weekend.
- Taylor and Lee ended the day tied for third at nine-under, three shots behind American co-leaders Cameron Champ and Andrew Putnam, while other Canadians like Taylor Pendrith, Mackenzie Hughes, and Adam Hadwin also made the cut.

Meanwhile, McIlroy acknowledged that after encountering a high score early in his round, he found himself at a disadvantage throughout the front nine holes.
- With eight Canadians making the cut, tying the tournament record set in previous years, Taylor and Lee remain strong contenders as the event progresses into the weekend rounds.
