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.

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.

McIlroy, who won the 2019 and 2022 RBC Canadian Opens, did not have it this week. After opening with a 71, he shot 78 on Friday, his card showing a quad 8 on the par-4 fifth hole. He managed to only beat four guys this week.
