After calling for a doctor and taking all of the available time, Conners opted to play on, making a bogey on the hole. Conners could be seen flexing his hand after shots for several holes following the incident.
After parring hole Nos. 12 and 13, Conners made a double bogey on the 13th hole, missing his drive left of the fairway and being forced to hack the ball out of the five-inch rough.
On Thursday, Conners immediately winced following a difficult bunker shot from a greenside bunker on the 17th hole. With his ball up against the face of the bunker, that day, Conners played a nice shot onto the green with next to no room to swing.
“A little shock to it,”Conners said after Thursday’s incident. “It feels totally fine now. The club didn’t follow through very far there.”
Conners made par that day, and the spotter on the hole said it was the worst spot he’d seen a ball land all day.
Conners birdied three of the first five holes on Saturday and hit four approach shots within five feet over the stretch. The Canadian entered the week ninth in the season-long FedEx Cup standings.
