Conners Withdraws From U.S. Open With Wrist Injury

Canadian golfer Corey Conners withdrew from the final round of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont due to a right wrist injury sustained during a bunker shot in the first round and aggravated after striking a hidden cable on Saturday. Despite receiving medical attention and finishing his third round, Conners was unable to complete his warm-up before his scheduled tee time and withdrew while tied for 39th at eight-over-par. His injury has sparked discussion about course safety, particularly the risks posed by Oakmont’s thick rough and hidden hazards, with several players reportedly suffering similar issues. Conners, ranked 21st in the world and a two-time PGA Tour winner, had enjoyed a strong season with multiple top-10 finishes. He was praised by his peers for his resilience and determination to compete through pain. Jhonattan Vegas was named as his replacement for the upcoming Travelers Championship as Conners recovers.
