Corey Conners, 31, is a Canadian. After winning Sunday's Valero Texas Open, though, he may want to take up full-time residence in the Lone Star State. In 153 PGA Tour starts, Conners has two wins — and both have come at the Texas Open, whose history dates back to 1922. Conners became just the 10th multiple winner of the tournament, joining a list that includes Texans Justin Leonard and Ben Crenshaw, along with Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead and Zach Johnson.
