After Scottie Scheffler's latest win at the Memorial Tournament, much of the talk coming into this week's RBC Canadian Open was how Rory McIlroy would respond in his first start since the PGA Championship.

McIlroy, who led the Tour in earnings from the week after The Players Championship until Scottie Scheffler won last week’s Memorial, trails Scheffler by $580,357. He can regain the lead with a finish of solo third or better ($676,200).

Rory McIlroy made an 8 on his fifth hole Friday at TPC Toronto, free-falling down the RBC Canadian Open leaderboard. After hitting his tee shot into the right rough on the par 4, McIlroy's approach shot from 134 yards traveled 165 — so far past the spectators around the green that they didn't notice it soar over their heads.
