The driver has been the best club in Taylor Pendrith's bag throughout his golf career, but he's struggled with it this season, an issue he hopes to rectify at this week's Players Championship.
Pendrith is one of six Canadians competing at TPC Sawgrass for a share of the US$25 million purse, the largest on the PGA Tour calendar. On an individual level, Pendrith hopes that the Stadium Course, which has an average drive of over 285 yards, will help him dial in his long game.
However, Pendrith has made four of six cuts since the PGA Tour's winter break, including a tie for seventh at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Feb. 5 thanks to a 64 in the fourth round. Pendrith and Conners will be joined by Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., and Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., who is making his Players debut.
