Three Canadian golfers showcased their talent during the final round of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith, and Nick Taylor competed at various points throughout the day.
Corey Conners’ Flawless Finish
Corey Conners, hailing from Listowel, Ontario, concluded his round with an even-par score of 70. At 34 years old, he delivered a steady performance, recording pars on 14 out of 18 holes. His round featured an early birdie on the fourth hole, spurred by a strong drive and approach shot. However, he also faced challenges, collecting bogeys on the seventh and 17th holes.
Comparison to Previous Round
Conners’ final round stood in stark contrast to his performance on Saturday, where he triumphed with a stellar front-nine featuring four consecutive birdies. Unfortunately, he struggled on the back nine, posting bogeys on six of his final seven holes, concluding that day at 3-over par.
Taylor Pendrith’s Steady Play
Fellow Canadian Taylor Pendrith, from Richmond Hill, Ontario, finished the tournament at 2-over par, placing him tied for 47th. He recorded a score of 71 on Sunday, with 15 pars and a single birdie on the par-3 14th hole. Pendrith encountered difficulties midway through his round, including two bogeys on holes eight and ten.
Nick Taylor’s Challenge Among Leaders
Abbotsford, British Columbia’s Nick Taylor teed off at 2:25 p.m. ET, tied for second place and just two strokes behind the leader, Alex Smalley, who sat at 6-under par. Taylor’s performance on Saturday was impressive, finishing his round with a 65 that included five birdies and no bogeys.
- Corey Conners: Even-par 70; 34 years old; 14 pars, 1 birdie, 2 bogeys.
- Taylor Pendrith: 1-over 71; 34 years old; 15 pars, 1 birdie, 2 bogeys.
