Bud Cauley secured his first PGA Tour victory at the 2026 RBC Canadian Open, held at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Ancaster, Ontario, on June 14, 2026. The 36-year-old American shot a final-round 67 to finish at 17-under-par, winning by two strokes.
Cauley, who had previously come close to winning on the PGA Tour, including a runner-up finish at the 2021 Sony Open, finally broke through at the Canadian Open. He started the final round tied for the lead and played steady golf, making five birdies against two bogeys.
This victory marks a significant milestone in Cauley's career, which has been marked by injuries, including a serious car accident in 2018 that left him with multiple broken bones. His win at the Canadian Open is a testament to his perseverance and skill.
