He won golf\u2019s fourth-oldest national open in 2019 at Hamilton Golf &amp; Country Club, only for the the COVID-19 pandemic to cancel the next two editions.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas pushed him to the end at St. George\u2019s Golf &amp; Country Club, and the tournament effectively ended on the 17th hole. McIlroy and Thomas were tied and in the rough. McIlroy hit a wedge that rolled out to tap-in range, while Thomas missed a 10-foot par putt, a two-shot swing. Thomas closed with a pair of bogeys and still shot 64.<\/p>\n<p>McIlroy finished at 19-under 261 for a two-stroke victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like it\u2019s getting tougher and tougher to win on the PGA Tour,\u201d McIlroy said. \u201cJust look at the two guys that I played with today. I went out with a lead and had to shoot 8-under par to get the job done. So the depth of talent on this tour is really, really impressive. And going up against guys like J.T. and Tony and coming out on top, that\u2019s something to feel really good about.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"727\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Canadian-Open-Golf.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Rory McIlroy celebrates after winning the Canadian Open.\" class=\"wp-image-22631889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Canadian-Open-Golf.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Canadian-Open-Golf.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Canadian-Open-Golf.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Rory McIlroy celebrates after winning the Canadian Open. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finau holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a 64 to finish second alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRory played great,\u201d Finau said. \u201cHe closed it out and hat\u2019s off to him on a week like this.
