In the $500K Pitch + Putt tournament, Corey Conners ($10,200; 35 FPTS) was the third-most rostered golfer at 24.37%. And for good reason, as he finished fifth at The Sentry last week. But golf is such a volatile sport with a wide range of outcomes and Conners finished at the lower end during the Sony Open in Hawaii.
On Thursday, Conners racked up four bogeys and finished the day two-over.
Things did not start well on Friday, as he bogeyed the first hole, but Conners bounced back with an eagle and three birdies to close out the front nine. Unfortunately, he racked up three bogeys on the back nine before notching two birdies on the last two holes.
Conners finished three-under on Friday, but the hole dug on Thursday was too deep and he finished two strokes off the cut line of three-under.
Byeong Hun An ($9,400; 34.5 FPTS) was rostered on 15.64% of teams and he experienced a similar journey as Conners, having a brutal Thursday, bouncing back on Friday yet still missing the cut.
An had four bogeys and two birdies on Thursday to finish two-over. On Friday, he racked up two birdies on the front nine and an eagle on the final hole but missed the cut by one stroke.
Austin Eckroat ($8,700; 32.5 FPTS) was rostered on 13.54% of teams. He finished two-under on Thursday with two bogeys and four birdies. On Friday, things looked promising with four birdies on the front nine, but he melted on the back nine with two bogeys and a double-bogey to miss the cut by one stroke.
J.T. Poston ($8,900; 30.5 FPTS) was rostered on 12.4% of teams. He bogeyed the second hold on Thursday but finished the round with four birdies to end three-under. On Friday, though, he bogeyed the second hole of the round, finished the front nine with two birdies but racked up three bogeys before ending the day with a birdie. Poston also missed the cut by one stroke.
