“I was really solid all day. It was a battle out here all day, the conditions were not easy," Conners told NBC Sports.

The Ontario-born-and-raised golfer will take home a prize of $1.6 million USD.

This is the second PGA Tour victory for Conners, having previously won the 2018-2019 Texas Open.

Conners currently holds 40th place in the World Golf Rankings - higher than any other Canadian golfer.
