Dubliner David Carey to tee it up in star-studded field at RBC Canadian Open

Dubliner David Carey has qualified for this weekend's RBC Canadian Open.

Carey carded an impressive five-under par Coppinwood Golf Club before coming through a four-man play-off to qualify for the event.

The Dundonald links touring professional drilled home a monster 25-foot putt on the first play-off hole to secure one of the three spots up for grabs.

Posting on Instagram after the round, Carey said "Earned my spot in the @rbccanadianopen @pgatour It was a long day! Started at 9:50 this morning and ended up in a 4 for 3 playoff just after 8pm. Drained a 25 footer with my @pirettigolf putter on the first playoff hole! Let’s make it a big week!"

He will tee it up alongside the likes of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry at Oakdale this week.

This will be Carey's second start on the PGA Tour after his appearance at the Valero Texas Open earlier this year.
