Sports Briefing | Golf: Jason Day Captures Canadian Open

Jason Day birdied the final three holes to win the Canadian Open on Sunday, spoiling David Hearn’s bid to become the event’s first Canadian winner in 61 years.

Day made a 20-foot putt on the par-5 18th for a four-under 68 and a one-stroke victory over Bubba Watson. Day finished at 17-under 271 at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ontario.

Hearn, two strokes ahead of Day and Watson entering the round, had a 72 to finish third at 15 under.

Day was coming off a fourth-place tie last Monday in the British Open at St. Andrews. He also fought through vertigo symptoms last month to tie for ninth in the United States Open.
