O Canada

 And now, just for funsies, one more look at the Sportsball highlight of the weekend, coming to you from the RBC Canadian Open golf tournament.

Where a Canadian named Nick Taylor pulled a miracle out of his pocket to swipe the W off Tommy Fleetwood's plate on the last hole. Enjoy.

Taylor's 72-foot putt was the longest he'd ever jarred as a professional golfer, and it made him the first Canadian to win his country's Open since 1954. 

Also, it was a great big "take that!" from aggrieved Canadians who are being forced to watch either Las Vegas (huh?) or Miami (what th-?) claim Lord Stanley's Cup, instead of one of THEIR teams. Which hasn't happened since 1993, when Montreal won the Big Chalice.

That's not as long ago as '54, of course. But by God it's long enough.
