like Xander schauuffle was exceeding Max Grayserman to win Baycurrent Classic On Sunday in Japan, Matt McCarty was trying to make history.
Instead, he ended up brutally collapsed in the 72nd hole in Yokohama Country Club.
The leftist defender began the last round of Sunday in the 10th hole. He shot a four-nine 31 under his first mother in the first nine and then withdrew from eight right birds starting at no. 1. This put McCarty in a position to shoot 59 with a principle in the last or join Jim Furyk in the 58th with a bird.
Golf gods had other plans.
Standing in the Tee box in the ninth hole of 490-Oborres Par-4, McCarty seemed destined to complete his journey to Japan with a high note. Instead, he blocked his thesis shot from borders to the left. The 27-year-old had to be refreshed from the Tee box. He found the right path with his third, knocked his approach on seven legs, and rolled into a blow for a closing noise and a round of 60, a best career in PGA Tour.
What could it have been.
McCarty was on the right track to become the 16th player in PGA Tour’s story to shoot a sub-60 round. The last to do this was Jake KNAPP in the first round of this year’s Cognizant Classic. But a weak car ended those dreams and turned into a good round.
“Yes, I don’t know, just (I have) a little tight (at that pace) and just tried to guide it more or less and just deleted it,” McCarty said. “(Following 59), I actually feel like it is similar to being in quarrel. I came out of it and shake it in the tree.
“I thought I had a chance around the corner (to find the ball) but probably hit one of those trees and was hit left. Yes, tough ending for a really good day. A swing away from a 58.”
2024 graduate Korn Ferry Tour was still pleased with his round. Took him a T14 conclusion and transferred it to 84 to FedEx Cup autumn ranking in front of him Title Protection in the Black Desert Championship in utah in two weeks. And while the blocked tee shot in the ninth hole climbs, McCarty also looks at the eight -legged Eagle Putt in No. 4 as a reason he did not break 60.
“I hit him close to 4 for Eagle and lost it, but I was thinking if I would have had a chance,” McCarty said. “But you never think you’ll go to Birdie eight in a row or whatever else. With three to go, I was like, I can get two and have a chance. I had two strokes in 7 and 8. I just hit it really well and played strong. It is strange to play so well and get out of the course feeling like this, but yes, (in general) a good day. “
