D\u00e9buts<\/strong> : Son initiation au golf s\u2019est faite d\u00e8s ses premiers mois, quand il regardait le golf \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9 avec ses parents. Autres int\u00e9r\u00eats<\/strong> : Ses passe-temps favoris sont la p\u00eache, le ski et le tennis de table. De tout et de rien<\/strong> : Il identifie toujours ses balles en leur dessinant une t\u00eate. On le surnomme \u00ab AC \u00bb, \u00ab AConn \u00bb. Son repas favori avant un tournoi est le spaghetti sauce \u00e0 la viande. Sa tricherie pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e est le riz frit. Il a d\u00e9j\u00e0 jou\u00e9 au tennis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Austin Connelly a fait ses d\u00e9buts sur le circuit de la PGA \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 18 ans au tournoi AT&T Byron Nelson en mai 2015, o\u00f9 il a remport\u00e9 un des quatre titres Byron Nelson International Junior Golf Awards de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":151884,"template":"","tags":[415988680,1104411,2306,415987822,20292794],"hof-categories":[],"year-inducted":[],"gender":[42123],"season":[415983968],"sport":[415984036],"game":[415988487,334881982],"team":[415988533,415982979],"event":[46639],"province":[415983156],"class_list":["post-102851","athletes","type-athletes","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-austin-connelly","tag-equipe-canada","tag-sport-golf","tag-lima-2019","tag-toronto-2015","gender-masculin","season-ete","sport-golf","game-lima-2019","game-2015-toronto","team-lima-2019-golf","team-toronto-2015-golf","event-hommes","province-nouvelle-ecosse"],"acf":[],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/equipe-canada-austin-connelly.jpg?quality=100","category_names":[],"tag_names":["Austin Connelly","\u00c9quipe canada","Golf","Lima 2019","Toronto 2015"],"sport_names":[445],"game_names":["Lima 2019","Toronto 2015"],"season_names":["\u00c9t\u00e9"],"team_names":["Lima 2019 Golf","Toronto 2015 - Golf"],"province_names":["Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse"],"social_facebook":"Facebook.com\/austin.connelly.73","social_twitter":"Austinconnelly9","social_linkedin":"","social_gplus":"","social_instagram":"","social_website":"https:\/\/www.austinconnelly.com\/","total_medal_count_gold":"","total_medal_count_silver":"","total_medal_count_bronze":"","athlete_headshot":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/athlete_placeholder.jpg?quality=100","athlete_height":"171","athlete_weight":"62","athlete_hometown":"Claire, Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse","athlete_birthplace":"Irving (Texas)","coc_gracenote_id":"","athlete_dob":"September 18, 1996","athlete_age":29,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/athletes\/102851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/athletes"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/athletes"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/athletes\/102851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":152145,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/athletes\/102851\/revisions\/152145"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"hof-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hof-categories?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"year-inducted","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/year-inducted?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"gender","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gender?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"season","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/season?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"sport","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sport?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"game","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/game?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"team","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"event","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event?post=102851"},{"taxonomy":"province","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.olympic.ca\/olympique\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/province?post=102851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
