Rory McIlroy is getting caught up in the Toronto Raptors hype while finishing things off at the Canadian Open.
McIlroy posted a dominant final round 61, good for a score of nine-under and a seven-stroke victory on Sunday. As he walked off the 18th green, he produced a Toronto Raptors jersey in front of the crowd.

McIlroy was actually in attendance for Game 2 of the NBA Finals and seemed to enjoy the atmosphere.
Excited to be in Toronto at NBA Finals. Can’t wait to tee it up this week @rbccanadianopen @golfcanada
Big thanks @rbc @marydepaoli ???????? pic.twitter.com/jODaM82p7u— Rory McIlroy (@McIlroyRory) June 3, 2019
McIlroy is definitely a basketball fan, though he has no obvious ties to the Raptors. If you’re in town and took in a recent game, though, you might as well show some love to the home team, especially with Canada in the midst of basketball fever.
