<P> A Canadian has not won the Canadian Open since Pat Fletcher in 1954 , and one of the most exciting conclusions ever seen at the Open came in 2004 , extending that streak . Mike Weir had never done well at the Glen Abbey Golf Course , the site of the tournament that week . In fact , he had only made the cut once at any of the Opens contested at Glen Abbey . But Weir clawed his way to the top of the leaderboard by Friday . And by the third day at the 100th anniversary Open , he had a three - stroke lead , and many Canadians were buzzing about the possibility of the streak 's end . Weir started off with a double bogey , but then went 4 - under to keep his 3 - stroke lead , with only eight holes left . Yet , with the expectations of Canadian observers abnormally high , there was another roadblock in the way of Mike Weir : Vijay Singh . Weir bogeyed three holes on the back nine but still had a chance to win the tournament with a 10 - footer on the 72nd hole . When he missed the putt , the two entered a sudden - death playoff . Weir missed two more chances to win the tournament : a 25 - foot putt for eagle on No. 18 on the first hole of sudden - death , and a 5 - foot putt on No. 17 , the second playoff hole . On the third playoff hole , Weir put his third shot into the water after a horrid drive and lay - up , and Singh was safely on the green in two . Singh won the Open and overtook Tiger Woods as the world 's number one player . </P>
