TORONTO (Reuters) - Nick Taylor's 72-foot putt to become the first home grown winner of the Canadian Open in 69 years in June instantly became one of the country's great sporting moments and was immortalised on Friday when his silhouette was made part of the event's logo.

A silhouette of Taylor's putter toss after his monster eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole to defeat Tommy Fleetwood will become the "I" in "Canadian", replacing the classic image of an anonymous golfer in full swing.
