Golf: Corey Conners wins Texas Open for first PGA Tour victory, less than a week after qualifying

Corey Conners claimed his first PGA Tour victory and earned an invite to the Masters on Sunday, winning the Valero Texas Open less than a week after qualifying. Conners only entered the tournament field Monday, and he's the first golfer to win on the PGA Tour after qualifying on a Monday in nine years. He shot a 6-under 66. He was 20-under for the tournament, winning by two shots over Charley Hoffman. Next stop for Conners: Augusta, Georgia, for next week's Masters. Hoffman shot 67 for 18-under on the weekend. Ryan Moore closed with an 8-under 64, a shot off the course record, and was third at 17-under. Si Woo Kim, The Players Championship winner in 2017, led the opening three rounds but dropped to a tie for fourth with Brian Stuard (15-under) after a 72. Rickie Fowler (69) finished at 10-under and Jordan Spieth (72) was 7-under.
