När Rory McIlroy krossade fältet med en avslutande 61-runda tog han sig till 22 under par - nytt rekord för Canadian Open - och visade tydligt att han är redo för nästa veckas US Open på fina Pebble Beach.

Som förberedelse inför nästa vecka hade McIlroy lagt en extra wedge i bagen och det gav honom bättre längdkontroll, vilket vi kunde se resultatet av igår. Massor av limmade inspel gav korta birdeputtar och en kort eagleputt.
