Canadian Open now a British Open qualifier

The road to the next British Open will go through Hamilton. The RBC Canadian Open was named Wednesday as one of three qualifying tournaments for the golf major. The top three players at the Canadian Open, who have not already earned an exemption to play at the British Open, will earn a spot. Hamilton Golf and Country Club will play host to the Canadian Open from June 6-9. Golf Canada and the PGA Tour moved the dates of the national championship to early June starting in 2019, making it possible for the Canadian Open to become a qualifier for the British Open.
