Corey Conners Finding His Short Game
5 months agoCorey Conners has long been known as a ball-striking phenom who just needs a slightly above-average putting week to find himself atop the leaderboard. Well, in two of his last three events, the 32-year-old has gained more than three strokes with the flat stick. He's added on a combined 8.3 strokes gained around-the-green in those three tournaments. Unfortunately, Conners has been unable to pair those strides with his best approach numbers. The Canadian heads to the Travelers in hopes of keeping up his improvements on and around the greens while finding his irons and wedges again at a track where he gained 6.7 strokes on approach in 2023. The layout suits Conners' game for sure, and his form is in a fantastic spot. There's value to be had at just $8,400 on DraftKings, but he has been known to flop in the best of spots, so load up on the Canuck at your own risk!
