Conners, a 33-year-old from Ontario, will be replaced by Venezuela’s Jhonattan Vegas at TPC River Highlands this week.
—
For the second straight week, a top-25 player in the world has withdrawn from competition.
Canada’s Corey Conners was 3 under on the front nine Saturday at the 2025 U.S. Open and appeared to be making a move up the leaderboard before aggravating a wrist injury after playing a bunker shot from a plugged lie in one of Oakmont’s ruthless sand traps. He shot 5-over 40 on the back and withdrew the next morning.
