Corey Conners withdraws from 2025 Travelers Championship
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.
Corey Conners of Canada gets treatment on the 12th tee during the third round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 14, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.
That wrist is obviously still bothering him, because the PGA Tour sent notice early Tuesday that Conners has withdrawn from this week's 2025 Travelers Championship.

He will be replaced by Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas.
Conners, a 33-year-old from Ontario, has quietly been one of the most consistently good players on Tour this season. He doesn't have a win, but five top 10s — including a tie for eighth at the Masters and a solo third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational — have him No. 10 in the FedEx Cup standings.
He's also the highest-ranked Canadian player in the world at No. 24.
The 2025 Travelers Championship — the PGA Tour's final signature event of the season — begins Thursday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.

Golfer's caddie unable to get to Open Championship due to 30-year-old cocaine charge
Harris English will be playing in next week's Open Championship at Royal Portrush, likely without his tournament sidekick. English's caddie, Eric Larson, is currently stuck in the United States after being unable to obtain a new Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) visa for travel to the U.K., a regulation that now applies to Americans. Thirty years ago, Larson pleaded guilty to sending cocaine to friends in the Midwest. Though he wasn't a user or big-time dealer, he spent 10 years and three months in prison and was released from a halfway house in June 2006. Larson said he didn't realize he needed the ETA visa until the U.S. Open, and when he filled out the form, he was denied. Grounds for refusal include an applicant who has been convicted of a criminal offense in the U.K. or overseas for which they served 12 months or more in prison. "I guess the United Kingdom doesn't look highly on his past," English said Tuesday at The Renaissance Club ahead of the Scottish Open. "And apparently it's a work in progress." English, who is No. 19 in the world and 10th in the U.S. standings for the Ryder Cup, said he didn't become aware of Larson's plight until right after he tied for fourth at the Travelers Championship three weeks ago. English said he reached out to Warren Stephens, the ambassador to the U.K. who put him in touch with his chief of staff. "They wrote a letter. The R&A wrote a letter. The PGA Tour wrote a letter. A charity event Eric works for in the States (Operation New Hope) wrote a letter. It's not for a lack of effort," English added. "I think it could be sitting on someone's desk at the government somewhere." English was a part of the Ryder Cup team in 2021 at Whistling Straits during a dismantling of Team Europe — they'd get revenge two years later in Rome — and Larson was on the bag. This year's event will take place at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Rory vs. Scottie leads our 2025 Genesis Scottish Open prop bet picks, PGA Tour predictions
With the Open Championship on the calendar next week, many of the world's top players are gearing up by playing in the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club this week. The first round begins on Thursday morning in Scotland. Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the Genesis Scottish Open from BetMGM Sportsbook's odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions. Scottie Scheffler (+500) is playing the Scottish Open again for the first time since finishing T-3 in 2023, headlining a loaded field that also features Rory McIlroy (+1000), Xander Schauffele (+2000), Tommy Fleetwood (+2000) and Collin Morikawa (2500). Defending champion and Scotland's own Robert McIntyre (+2500) is also teeing it up, as is another past champion, Aaron Rai (+5500). The Renaissance Club is 7,282 yards long and plays as a par 70. It's a links course that also has some trees scattered around the property, though most holes are fairly open like traditional links courses are. It opened in 2007 and began hosting the Scottish Open in 2019, making this the seventh time the event is being played here. Genesis Scottish Open – Top-5 picks Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 8:47 p.m. ET. McIntyre has finished second and first in his last 2 starts at the Scottish Open, so he's going for 3 top-5s in a row here. And he very easily could've won in 2023 if not for McIlroy's heroics on 18 to snatch the victory from the Scotsman. He's in great form after coming in second at the U.S. Open last month, too. Schauffele won this event in 2022 and proceeded to finish 42nd and 15th in the last 2 years. Obviously, he won the Open Championship last year, too, so he's had plenty of success on links courses in the past. Putting shouldn't be as critical this week at The Renaissance Club, which is an area Schauffele has struggled, but he's been excellent in the all-important approach metric. Fleetwood suffered heartbreak at the Travelers Championship, making bogey on 18 to lose to Keegan Bradley by 1 shot. He's never won on the PGA Tour, but he's consistently near the top of the leaderboard and he's had finishes of fourth and sixth in 2 of his last 3 starts in this event. Genesis Scottish Open – Top-10 picks Morikawa continues to struggle on the greens, but he remains 10th in SG: off the tee and 5th in approach, so the ball-striking numbers are still great. With Billy Foster on the bag as his caddie now, maybe he'll improve on the greens going forward. McIlroy has played this event twice since he became co-sanctioned in 2022, winning in 2023 and finishing T-4 last year. He closed well at the U.S. Open and carried that over into the Travelers Championship where he tied for sixth, so he's gaining some momentum as he regains his focus before next week's Open. Kim has come in third, sixth and 15th in 3 career starts at the Scottish Open, showing a prowess for playing well on links courses. He's in poor form, but maybe getting out of the U.S. and playing in Scotland will help get him back on track. Genesis Scottish Open – Top-20 picks Detry has finished 30th or better in 5 of his last 6 starts at the Scottish Open, with the only exception being a T-42 in 2023. He has a win already this season and should be even more comfortable playing back in Europe. Neergaard-Petersen is playing this event for the first time, but in his last 2 worldwide starts, he came in 12th at the U.S. Open and 14th at the BMW International Open. Having primarily played on the DP World Tour, he's a sleeper this week in Scotland. Harman is a former Open champion and has come in 12th and 21st in his last 2 starts here after missing the cut in 2022. A strong links player, his odds have reached the point where they're worth taking despite a somewhat up-and-down year. WATCH: Get ESPN+ Genesis Scottish Open – Matchups Suggested play is golfer in bold. Xander Schauffele (-125) vs. Ludvig Aberg (+100) Aberg is hard to trust right now with how inconsistent he's been. Schauffele hasn't been his usually steady self this year, but he's got enough experience playing links golf that he should probably be a bigger favorite. Rory McIlroy (+150) vs. Scottie Scheffler (-190) Both McIlroy and Scheffler have good records here, with Scheffler coming in third, 12th and missing the cut once, while McIlroy has a win, a fourth-place finish and an MC, too. It's always dangerous to bet against Scheffler but +150 is too good to pass up with McIlroy. Genesis Scottish Open – Top Asian No one in this market is better than +550 to be the top Asian finisher, so it's essentially a wide-open field. Kim is tied with Byeong Hun An, Sungjae Im and Si Woo Kim at +550, making this a toss-up but one worth taking Kim in because of his links history. Genesis Scottish Open – Top French Perez is the favorite to be the top Frenchman and he moved to Scotland so he might have a slight advantage over his competitors in this market. He tied for 10th last year and 35th in 2023, also finishing 14th in 2020. Genesis Scottish Open – First-round leader As of now, it seems the later tee times on Thursday will see less wind, which doesn't bode well for Detry, who's on the earlier side. However, he's shot 66 or better in the opening round in 3 of his last 4 starts at the Scottish Open, putting him T-4 or better each time. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!
