Conners Notches First Top Ten Finish As A Pro

Corey Conners has placed in the top ten for the first time in his professional career.

The Listowel-native placed third at the PGA Tour Canada's Staal Foundation Open with a fourth-round score of -16 on Sunday.

After heading into the final round in a four-way tie for first at -14, Conners shot a 70 (-2) on the final day.

Conners turned pro in the spring after competing in The Masters as an amateur.

His best pro finish came last month in Fort McMurray at The Syncrude Boreal Open, where he finished tied for 12th.
