Del Solar, Olesen Share First-Round Lead at Canadian Open

News summary

At the RBC Canadian Open held at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, Chilean rookie Cristobal Del Solar and Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen shared the first-round lead with impressive nine-under-par 61s. Del Solar, nicknamed 'Mr. 57' for his record-setting 57 on the Korn Ferry Tour, came close to setting the lowest round in PGA Tour history but bogeyed the 17th and finished with a par on the 18th, missing a chance to match or beat Jim Furyk's 58. Olesen, who entered the tournament as a Monday qualifier, finished strong with an eagle on the 18th and multiple birdies, crediting his exceptional putting for his score. The course conditions, softened by rain, contributed to the low scoring, with Del Solar making seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch. Meanwhile, notable players such as Rory McIlroy trailed behind, with McIlroy shooting a 1-over 71. Both leaders have yet to win on the PGA Tour, making this an important milestone opportunity for their careers.
