Late Missed Putt by Rory Shocks World
Bogeys on the 15th, 16th, and 18th holes, saw McIlroy's lead evaporate. His par-3 15th hole mishap and the costly missed putt on the 16th and 18th were pivotal.

“Rory is one of the best to ever play,” DeChambeau commented. “Being able to fight against a great like that is pretty special. For him to miss that putt, I’d never wish it on anybody. It just happened to play out that way.”
Even After Move to LIV, DeChambeau Remains Major Threat
After Bryson DeChambeau signed with the LIV Tour, many wondered about how he'd continue to manage in these major tournaments. DeChambeau has put those critics to rest in 2024, finishing in the top six in all three majors. Although others that switched tours have struggled, the same can't be said for DeChambeau, who's game remains built for these big moments.
