CALEDON, Ontario (AP) — Bud Cauley took the lead with a birdie chip on the par-4 12th and won the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, eight years after his career nearly ended in a car accident at the Memorial Tournament.
The 36-year-old Cauley won in his 239th tour start — just over two years after he finally returned to the PGA Tour following the accident. He was a passenger in a car when he sustained six broken ribs, a collapsed right lung and fractured left leg.
On Sunday at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, Cauley closed with a 5-under 65 to get to 17-under 263. He began the round a stroke behind Jackson Suber.
Cauley started his back-nine birdie run with a shot to 4 feet on the 206-yard 11th. He added the hole-out from 93 feet on 12, then made a 13 1/2-footer on 13 and a 15-footer on 15 — both par 4s. After a bogey on the par-4 17th, he parred the par-5 18th.
Matt Fitzpatrick was second to take the FedEx Cup lead. He eagled the 18th in a 64.
Viktor Hovland was third at 14 under after a 65. Suber (70), Jesper Svensson (68), Jimmy Stanger (67) and Brice Garnett (68) were another stroke back.

MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — Gina Kim and Yana Wilson teamed to win the Dow Championship on Sunday for their first LPGA Tour titles, closing with an 8-under 62 in best-ball play for a two-stroke victory over Hyo Joo Kim and Hye-Jin Choi.
Gina Kim and Wilson finished at 17-under 263 at Midland Country Club. Gina Kim holed out from the fairway for eagle on the par-4 fifth.
The 26-year-old Gina Kim won in her 64th start on the LPGA Tour, while the 19-year-old Wilson was making the ninth start of her rookie season. Last year, Wilson — the 2022 USGA Girls’ Junior winner — was second and Gina Kim third on the Epson Tour money list to earn LPGA cards.
Hyo Joo Kim and Choi finished with a 65.
Juli Inkster, who at 66 became the oldest player in LPGA history to make the cut in an official event, teamed with Angel Yin to tie for 12th at 9 under. They shot 64.
