Corey Conners won the Valero Texas Open for the second time in five years Sunday for his second PGA Tour title, closing with a 4-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over rookie Sam Stevens.
Also the 2019 winner, Conners had a 15-under 273 total on TPC San Antonio's Oaks Course. The Canadian now heads to the Masters, where he tied sixth last year for his second straight top-10 finish at Augusta National."I had been feeling really good about my game, and looking forward to getting back here to San Antonio," Conners said. "When I won in 2019, it was different, a real roller-coaster final round.
"I saw he had hit in the fairway, so I figured he could manage making a 5," Stevens said. "He had it in the bag when I missed that putt on 18. I knew I had to do something cool on the last couple of holes, and I was pretty at calm, pretty at peace on 17. I couldn't believe I got it as close as I did, and was able to make that one. That gave me a chance."Sam Ryder and Matt Kuchar followed at 13 under.
"Yeah, disappointing day," said Rodgers, who had the 54-hole lead at an event for the fourth time in his career. "I feel like I made some good swings that kind of the wind got or they landed a few yards in the wrong spots and it ended up costing me bogeys. That was my day today."
