It's been 62 years since a Canadian lifted the trophy at the RBC Canadian Open. Perhaps it'll take an amateur to break the streak.

Playing together during the first round at Glen Abbey, both Jared du Toit and Garrett Rank made surprising moves onto the early leaderboard in Ontario.

Du Toit, a rising senior at Arizona State, opened with birdies on four of his first six holes. While he cooled in the middle of his round, du Toit authored a highlight when he holed his approach from a fairway bunker for eagle on No. 17.
