Canada’s very own Corey Conners has launched himself into serious contention after the first round of the 2025 Masters Tournament. Flying under the radar heading into the event, Conners carded a brilliant 4-under-par 68 — his best-ever start at the Masters — leaving him tied for second and level with tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler.
The 33-year-old from Ontario has a history of solid performances at Augusta, but this year, he’s come out blazing. Conners finished his round with a powerful surge, birdieing three of his final four holes. That stretch included a jaw-dropping 24-foot putt that dropped right into the heart of the cup — a perfect exclamation mark to an impressive day.
It wasn’t just the finish that stood out — his overall game was sharp from tee to green. With controlled iron play and a confident putting stroke, Conners looked composed and in complete command of his game. While Justin Rose leads the field after a 7-under 65, Conners is right there in the mix heading into Round 2.
What makes this even more exciting is the history Conners has at Augusta. Between 2020 and 2022, he posted three straight top-10 finishes. He knows this course, and it clearly suits his eye — something he’s mentioned in past interviews. That familiarity may be a big advantage as the pressure ramps up.
And let’s not forget — the Masters is a marathon, not a sprint. With three rounds still to go, anything can happen, but Corey Conners has put himself in prime position to chase his first Green Jacket.
Can he keep the momentum going? Will we see a Canadian champion at Augusta come Sunday?
