Three bogeys in the first three holes on Sunday ruined any comeback attempt Jon Rahmthat he needs a good card if he wants to pursue the title at memory after finishing Saturday four shots behind the leaders in this tournament on the American PGA circuit played at Muirfield Village Golf Club from Dublin (Ohio, USA).
The Basque shot 74 with one eagle, two birdies and six bogeys and finished 16th, seven shots behind the Norwegian. Victor Hovland (70) and the American Denny McCarthy (70), playing for the title in the playoffs after they both finished with 281 shots (-7).
Hovland got a spectacular birdie on the 17th, forcing McCarthy to make at least par on the 18th, the toughest hole on the Muirfield course. A bad tee off was already a bad sign for the American, who decided to take a recovery shot because of the difficulty of getting the ball onto the green from a very thick rough.
However, McCarthy gave himself a chance to make the par putt from 20 feet, but it slipped and his only bogey of the day sent him into a playoff tiebreaker with Hovland.
