GOLF.com: Wyndham Clark Two Back Heading Into Sunday's Final Round at 2026 RBC Canadian Open
Saturday Summary
The 2026 RBC Canadian Open heads into its final round at TPC Toronto with Jackson Suber holding a two-shot lead at 14 under par. Wyndham Clark and Bud Cauley are both at 12 under and will join Suber in the final group, while Tommy Fleetwood sits among a cluster at 11 under in the penultimate pairing.
Clark's 63 Puts Him in Position
Clark began his third round six shots off the lead but closed with a 63 to vault into contention. His explanation centers on a recent equipment change: switching to a Ping putter has transformed his short game, allowing his improved ball-striking to translate into scores. This follows a win last month and a T3 at the Memorial, giving him a real chance at his second victory in three starts.
Strokeslab's Take
From a Strokes Gained perspective, the question is how much Clark's SG: Putting has shifted in the positive direction since switching putters. His GIR rate has reportedly been solid all year; if the flatstick holds up under final-round pressure, an aggressive scoring approach becomes viable. Sunday's round will be a live test of whether his short-game gains are sustainable in a high-stakes environment.
Clark's resurgence appears rooted in a genuine SG: Putting turnaround — it will be worth examining post-round data to see just how significant the putter change has been on the numbers.
