Bud Corey won the Canadian Open, earning his first PGA Tour title and making a remarkable comeback eight years after a car accident derailed his career.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 36-year-old American shot a 5-under 65 in the final round in Caledon, Ont., and chipped in for birdie on the 12th hole to take the lead and finish at 17-under 263.<\/p>\n

This was Corey’s 239th tournament on tour, and the victory was a reward for his persistence in coming back from a serious injury.<\/p>\n

England’s Matt Fitzpatrick took second place, two strokes behind, and Norway’s Viktor Hovland took third place with 14 under par.<\/p>\n

In June 2018, Cory was a passenger in a car when he suffered severe injuries that left him with six broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a broken left leg.<\/p>\n

Although he returned four months later, he suffered complications in 2020 that will keep him out of the Pro Tour until 2024.<\/p>\n

“There were times when I got hurt and really didn’t know if I was going to be able to play again,” Corey said.<\/p>\n

“A lot of people have helped me get to this point. I told myself that when I get the chance to start playing again, I’m going to do everything the right way and give myself the best chance.”<\/p>\n

Corey added: “I put my wife Christy through a lot of trouble during those dark times. It’s nice to have some success as a way of expressing my gratitude.”<\/p>\n

He started the day with a one-stroke lead over leader Jackson Suber, but took control in the back nine, made four birdies in five holes, and headed into the 16th hole with a three-stroke lead.<\/p>\n

Fitzpatrick shot a 64 in the fourth round to move up 10 spots on the leaderboard to second place, but a bogey on the 17th hole ended his hopes of winning the title.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a good week,” Fitzpatrick said. \u201cI wish I had received it earlier in the week. I think there were a lot of good ones.<\/p>\n

“I struggled a little bit with my putting last week, but I feel like my process of what I’m working on this week is a little bit better, and it showed. My putting was really solid.”<\/p>\n
