Robert MacIntyre fired a 2-under 68 on Sunday, June 2, to win the RBC Canadian Open 2024. He finished with a total of 16 under after 72 holes, trumping Ben Griffin by one stroke.

MacIntyre entered the final round of the RBC Canadian Open with a four-stroke lead. Although he made a bogey on the first hole of the day, he rebounded with three birdies on the next eight holes. On the back nine, he added another birdie on par 4, 11th, but sank back-to-back bogeys on the next two holes. However, he managed to birdie the fifteenth and par the remaining holes to conclude the round at 2-under.

Griffin briefly threatened MacIntyre's lead by birdieing three consecutive holes, but a par on the final hole left him settling for 15-under. This win was MacIntyre's first-ever PGA Tour title, coming in his 45th start on the Tour.
