Conners will be paired with Colombia\u2019s Nico Echavarria as one of the International team\u2019s five groups heading out for Day 1 four-ball, going head-to-head against Justin Thomas and Jackson Koivun in the third match going off at 1:11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
Presidents Cup rookie Nick Taylor, who was selected to the team alongside Conners, will sit out on Day 1.<\/p>\n
Conners holds a career record of 0-3-0 in four-ball at the Presidents Cup, and a 2-7-0 record overall at the biennial event.<\/p>\n
The Listowel, Ont. native has matched up against Thomas on two occasions – both coming at Quail Hollow in 2022 – losing 2&1 and 4&3 in foursomes.<\/p>\n
Conners earned his first points at the Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal in 2024, winning a Day 2 foursomes match with fellow Canadian Mackenzie Hughes 6&5 against Wyndham Clark and Tony Finau, and a 5&3 Sunday singles win, also over Finau.<\/p>\n
He held a 2-3-0 record at the event while featuring in all five sessions for the Internationals at Royal Montreal.<\/p>\n
The two-time PGA Tour winner is set for his third career appearance at the Presidents Cup this week.<\/p>\n
