On the closing day of the tournament on March 28, Horschel lost three consecutive holes, drew two holes, then led all 14 holes. The whole match for the title, he only had a birdie, the rest of the opponent.
After joining the hole – hole 1, Horschel was at a disadvantage from hole 2 par4 because of the loss of the ball, a penalty of one stroke, two more shots to reach the green. Meanwhile, Scheffler two swings to the latch, 10.3 meters away with both a birdie chance and a par chance of losing two shots to finish his job. Although the opponent had to put down long range, Horschel admitted losing.
“I just saw a puzzling decision. Horschel was determined to lose against Scheffler’s possibility of two putt in the range of 10.3 meters. That could take up to three putt, or even more, under wind conditions like this.” Brandel Chamblee – veteran analyst from Golf Channel – comment.
