It was the second time the Canadian had won the PGA Tour event in the last five years, having won the event in 2019. Conners shot a bogey-free four-under-par 68 to finish on fifteen-under to edge out Stevens, who had two eagles in his closing 66 at TPC San Antonio.
England's Matt Wallace birdied four of his last six holes to win the Corales Puntacana Championship by a shot from Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark.

Taylor Moore claimed his first PGA Tour title on Sunday at the Valspar Championship after a final-round four-under-par 67 saw him home by a single shot.

After a wait of almost eight years, Chris Kirk claimed his fifth PGA Tour title after edging out countryman Eric Cole in a playoff to win the Honda Classic on Sunday.

World number two Jon Rahm picked up his first since his triumph at the U.S. Open last June with a win at the Mexico Open.

"Today was a battle," Rahm said. "But I got it done."
