Aaron Rai scored the best finish of his career on the PGA Tour as he tied for third at the Canadian Open – missing out on a play-off by just one shot.

The Wolverhampton golfer shot a closing 67 to finish the tournament on 16 under par, tieing clubhouse leader Tyrrell Hatton as he sunk his birdie putt on the last.
But home hope Nick Taylor and Englishman Tommy Fleetwood both held their nerve with tricky putts at the 18th to beat that mark by one shot, with Taylor going on to become the first Canadian to win the tournament since 1954 on the fourth play-off hole on Sunday.
Former Shropshire & Herefordshire junior Rai, who led after the first round, has not qualified for this week’s US Open.
