The term underdog is thrown around a lot in the sports world, but fans would be hard-pressed to find a bigger underdog story for an individual golf tournament than Corey Conners' performance at the 2019 Valero Texas Open.
Conners shot a six-under 66 in Sunday's final round at TPC San Antonio to clinch the first victory of his PGA Tour career.
He missed the cut in five of his previous six tour events, but it just wasn't the dramatic turnaround from his recent showings that made the win so impressive. The only reason he was even in the field was his effort in Monday's qualifier when he emerged from a six-man playoff for the final spot in the tournament.
