Maybe if they are partners at Quail Hollow later this year, Corey Conners will take one for the team.
But as playing competitors at this week’s Wells Fargo Championship, the Canadian instinctively dodged Marc Leishman’s errant bunker shot on Thursday.
Leishman, in greenside bunker on the par-3 17th at TPC Potomac, shanked his second shot and sent it rifling right, in the direction of Conners and Conners’ caddie. The pair was able to avoid a direct hit, but Leishman’s ball wasn’t able to avoid the water.
Leishman, coming off four consecutive birdies, eventually made triple-bogey 6.
