RBC Canadian Open Round 2 Tee Times: Rose Groups With Morikawa in Canadian Hunt

Rose Pairs With Morikawa for Round 2 at TPC Toronto

The 2026 RBC Canadian Open enters its second round Friday at TPC Toronto, with Justin Rose serving as the tournament's central narrative. At 45 years old, Rose has been one of the PGA Tour's most consistent performers this season, capturing his 13th career Tour title at the Farmers Insurance Open in January.

Perhaps more impressive is that Rose made a mid-season equipment switch to McLaren Golf irons without any apparent drop in performance — posting T3 at the Masters, T10 at the PGA Championship, and T12 at the Memorial in recent starts. He now heads to Canada eyeing a second U.S. Open title next week at Shinnecock Hills.

Strokeslab Perspective

From a Strokes Gained lens, Rose's continued strong SG: Approach numbers despite an iron change mid-season is a data point worth watching — it suggests elite ball-striking adaptability that could translate well into U.S. Open conditions.
