Grades: Jhonattan Vegas shoots 64 to win RBC Canadian Open, joins PGA field

Coming into Sunday at the RBC Canadian Open, the main contenders were Brandt Snedeker, Dustin Johnson and amateur Jared Du Toit. But Jhonattan Vegas had different plans.

An 8-under 64 got him to 12 under for the tournament, which was enough to hold off a charging field on Sunday in Canada.

Vegas finished one shot ahead of Johnson, John Rahm and Martin Laird as he waited on the range to find out if he'd win outright or have to participate in a playoff. He dodged a number of challengers who failed to come up with the necessary birdie or eagle on the par-5 18th to catch Vegas.
