Corey Conners shot a 4-under 67 to lead all Canadians remaining in the field at the 106th PGA Championship from Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, KY.
The Listowel, Ont. native played his front-nine at 3-under, knocking down a couple of birdie putts from long range on the 13th and 16th holes.
After a trio of pars, Conners capped off his big day with yet another birdie, sticking his approach from 153 yards out to within 15 feet, before knocking down the putt. He finishes at 4-under for the day, and 5-under for the tournament, tied for 38th with nine other golfers, including major winners Cameron Smith and Brian Harman.
Svennson’s day began with a bang on the par-3 11th, skying a ball off the tee to just inside three feet for an easy look at birdie. But things would go downhill from there for the 30-year-old, as he would make two bogeys in his final four holes of the round.
