Conners goes from Monday qualifier to spot in Masters

By Monday afternoon, Corey Conners was facing long odds of getting in. That's getting into the Valero Texas Open, not the Masters.

Conners is in the midst of a strong season, having finished second at the Sanderson Farms Championship and T-3 at the Sony Open. But he's playing this season on conditional status, meaning that even with those results he had to head to a Monday qualifier to try to earn one of the last four spots in the field at TPC San Antonio.

Conners was slow out of the gates, making an early double bogey, and was still 1 over through seven holes on Monday.
