The headliner for the RBC Canadian Open field will not be playing on the weekend, as Rory McIlroy's week went from bad to worse on Friday, as he followed up his 71 on Thursday with a 78 in the second round to miss the cut by 12 shots .

They've played 36 holes at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open. Several players went low again Friday, setting up for an exciting weekend. Cameron Champ carded a 66 to enter the third round as the solo leader, and Canadians Richard Lee and Nick Taylor stayed hot in their national open. Meanwhile, one of the world's best players missed the cut by a mile.

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.
