Corey Conners Could be Intriguing Option in Open Championship
Corey Conners has an up and down history across the pond. The Canadian golfer has had some less than ideal results but two Top 15 finishes at the Open Championship (2021 and 2025). Throwing out the results from the Genesis Scottish Open may be wise (T-52 last week). One worry is his driver accuracy (7% below average). Normally, Conners ranks 13th in driver accuracy at 67.45%. With decent breezes, averaging 303.1 yards off the tee should not be much of a hindrance. The bigger problem is putting. When Conners is rolling, he plays well like at last year's Open. In 2026, he averages 30 putts or worse in Rounds 2 and 3. That has to improve this week for Conners to have a bettor's chance at plus money for a Top 20 or better.
