Canadian's Texas Win Opens Georgia Door

Corey Conners Roller Coaster Victory Leads To The Masters

- 

Canada's Corey Conners delivered a roller coaster final round to win his first professional title at the Valero Texas Open, booking himself a fairytale berth to the Masters at Augusta just a week before the first major of the year begins.

The 27-year-old from Ontario only made it into the San Antonio tournament after battling through qualifying, where he won a six-way playoff to claim the final slot in the field. But the unheralded Canadian completed a remarkable week at TPC San Antonio's AT&T Oaks Course by firing a six-under-par 66 to finish two shots clear of Charley Hoffman, with a 20-under-par total of 268.
