For the second day in a row it looked as though Corey Conners was going to walk off the Olympic golf course with a bad taste in his mouth, but dinner in Paris will taste a little better on Friday.

One day after bogeying his final hole of the opening round, Conners faced a 26-foot par putt on the difficult 18th hole to avoid the same fate in his second round. The Canadian rolled in the long putt to save his par and head to the weekend at five-under par in the Olympic men’s golf competition, in solid position to make a push for a medal over the final two days.
