RBC Canadian Open Strategy & Key Shots | GOLFTEC on Golf Channel

Description

In this Golf Channel segment, a GOLFTEC coach breaks down key strategic elements of Hole 18 at TPC Toronto ahead of the RBC Canadian Open. The discussion focuses on how players approach scoring opportunities, manage risk off the tee, and position themselves for success on a course designed to reward smart decision-making.

  • TPC Toronto’s renovated 18th hole rewards strategic thinking, reminding players that scoring opportunities still demand careful risk-versus-reward decisions.
  • The removal of the front bunker and addition of a runoff area into the water significantly increases the penalty for shots that come up short.
  • With tour players operating in a shot zone only about 12 yards deep, precision in target selection becomes more important than simply hitting the green.
  • Rather than aiming at the front edge, elite players choose a target 14–15 yards onto the green to eliminate the water from play.
  • This disciplined approach shows how smart targeting and course management can reduce big mistakes and turn a dangerous approach into a reliable scoring chance.
