Conners a top 10 finish at The Masters

Listowel's Corey Conners was able to sink a couple of birdies in his final four holes and finished in a tie for eighth at The Masters.

Conners shot a 2-over-74 in his final round. He birdied his first hole of the day but then ran into some trouble on holes five through eight. He carded three bogeys and a double bogey in that stretch. But he finished the tournament with birdies on the 14th and the 18th.

Conners line at The Masters was 73-69-68-74 for a four round total of 284 and finished 4-under par.

One of his highlights was the ace on the par-3 sixth hole in the third round on Saturday.
