Matteo Manassero and Ryan Fox share RBC Canadian Open lead heading into Sunday

The duo both signed for six under 64s around the North Course at TPC Toronto on Saturday, enough to move them 14 under for the tournament. That puts them one ahead of Lee Hodges, Kevin Yu and Matt McCarty. Hodges and Yu shot 63, while McCarty had a 64.

Manassero bounced back from a three-putt bogey on the par-four 17th with a birdie on the last when he hit an 80-yard third shot to two feet.

"I missed the short one on 17, and I did miss a couple more short ones today," Manassero told AP.

"I try to think of them just like a shot really, like a driver, like a 6-iron, whatever. It's just a shot. So I don't want it to get in my head, and I don't want that to ruin anything or my attitude going towards the next shots.

"I try to get a good attitude, a good thought process, talk well to myself. Very basic things. I've matured a lot and I have a better perspective towards, for example, a day like tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Fox had just one blemish on his card littered with seven birdies. The Kiwi is chasing his second PGA Tour title of the year after breaking his duck at the Myrtle Beach Classic in May.

"To be honest, everything went pretty right," said the 38-year-old.

"I drove it great. I think if you do that around here, you give yourself lots of chances. Had a lot of good wedge shots, holed a few putts early. Just played really solid kind of stress-free golf for the most part."

No less than 24 players are within four shots of the lead, with the likes of 2019 Open Champion Shane Lowry lurking on ten under.
