Last Week: Corey Conners made his way to the semi-finals of the Dell Technologies Match Play Championship, before bowing out in a tight match to Kevin Kisner. He rallied to defeat Dustin Johnson in the consolation match. Most impressive about his play was his strong wedge and putting game, which has usually been his Achilles’ Heel. It was the best performance by a Canadian in that World Golf Championship event.

On the LPGA Tour, Maude-Aimee Leblanc battled down the stretch at the JTBC Championship at Aviara Golf Course in Carlsbad, Calif. Leblanc, who recently returned to play following a two-year retirement, said she gained knowledge of the course by playing it on a simulator. Her tie for fourth produced earnings of $62,667. It was also her second top 10 in three starts this season.

This Week: The LPGA Tour has its first major with the Chevron Championship. It will mark the final time the tournament will be played at Mission Hills before moving to Houston next year.

On the PGA Tour, Conners returns to the site of his first PGA Tour win at the Valero Texas Open.
