Canadians Tracker: Conners closes out Masters T8
Published
Canadian Corey Conners didn't quite have it Sunday in his quest to become the second Canadian ever to win a green jacket, closing with a 3-over 75 Sunday at the Masters.
Conners was 5-under for the week in a tie ninth at the conclusion of his round. Rory McIlroy went on to defeat Justin Rose in a playoff to win his fifth major and complete the career grand slam.
Conners, a native of Listowel, Ont., made five bogeys and two birdies Sunday, reaching as high as 8-under before making a trio of bogeys on the back-nine.
Fellow Canadian Nick Taylor wrapped up his weekend with a 1-over-par 73. The Winnipeg native was tied for 42nd at the end of his round on Sunday.
Mike Weir and Taylor Pendrith, the other Canadians in the field, did not advance to weekend play at Augusta National.
Winner: Rory McIlroy (in playoff over Justin Rose)
