Conner's competitive golf career peaked in high school as he hangs on tightly to glory days of reaching the CIF State Championship with Christian Brothers in 2007, and never losing a head-to-head match-up with rival Jesuit. Still based in Sacramento, Conner is attempting to revive his golf game while providing major tournament coverage for AmateurGolf.com.
