From BobWeeksTSN: 🇨🇦 Canadian Conners wins Texas Open, earns Masters invite. MORE:
On Monday, Corey Conners started his round by making par on a reachable par 5 and then made a double bogey on the second hole. Chances of advancing through the qualifying and getting into the Valero Texas Open seemed slim.
In addition to this win, Conners also became the last player to qualify for the Masters. He’ll make his second appearance in the year’s first major this week. “Those holes were playing a little trickier and back into the wind,” stated Conners of his bogey run. “I missed some iron shots and was able to regroup going from nine to 10 and just told myself to stay patient, trust my game.”
Earlier this season he again found his way into the final pairing at the Sanderson Farms Championship. While he didn’t win, he didn’t lose as he had the previous two occasions. This time, his final-round 68 was good for second place behind a stellar Cameron Champ.
