Two players who finished high up the Open leaderboard won on Tour at the weekend.

What's the best way to make up for missing out on your first major by two shots?

You might say winning the next one and Jason Day may well do that. For now, however, he can console himself with the RBC Canadian Open.

The Australian backed up his favourites label heading into his first tournament post-Open and edged out Bubba Watson on the last hole.

Danny Willett won his second European Tour title of the season in Switzerland by a shot from Matt Fitzpatrick.

The Yorkshireman is having an excellent season and earned some of you 405 points in Fantasy Golf this week.

RBC Canadian Open

Day took the maximum points home, with Watson and home-favourite David Hearn also scoring well.

Unsurprisingly, Jim Furyk was towards the top of the leaderboard on Sunday along with Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar.

 

Omega European Masters

Tyrrell Hatton was another high scorer for the English in Switzerland at the weekend.

He took home 315 points, with Anirban Lahiri and Sergio Garcia also able to score big points.

 

Overall

Boddington leads the table with 21, 419 points after another strong week. While the inclusion of Day made the difference, Garcia's presence also earned some solid points.

Montys Majors sits in second place on 20,796 points.

 

Who's hot and who's not

Day, Watson and Garcia were wisely drafted in by many players last week.

Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott were all taken out due to their absence from Tour.
