The Canadian trailed by one going into the final day and carded just 4 pars on his way to a final round 66.
Another birdie.
Another hole closer to his first win on TOUR.

Having opened up a four-shot lead through five holes, Conners was cruising, but he closed out the front-nine with four consecutive bogies.
Six back-nine birdies followed, and he was able to go on to claim his first PGA Tour victory in impressive fashion.
Another one. Wow. pic.twitter.com/ukINsEQFZz
