Corey Conners wasn’t even in the field for the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas as late as last Monday.
On Sunday, he won it and changed his life and career in the process.
Right after he and his wife shared a special moment celebrating a win that neither could believe and neither will ever forget.
Conners started the week having to play in the Monday qualifier for the event. He then survived a six-man playoff that got him into the tournament.
Then the 27-year-old, who had missed the cut in five of his last six events, shook off some shaky moments on Sunday before picking up his first PGA Tour win and the $1.35 million tat comes with it.
Afterward he and his wife Mallory, who was drinking some white wine toward the end of the round to ease her nerves, relived the emotional moment when he sealed his win:
It’s life changing because now does he not only get to go to play in the Masters this week, he also gets all of this:
Yup, that definitely changes things for ya.
