Rory, Hovland and SW Kim we’re the only ones in the top 20 to not break 70. Rory missed a lot of putts that barely made it to the hole. If he had hit a few of those with a bit more speed he would have made a few and possibly won or forced a playoff. I take nothing away from what Cam Smith did. Shooting 64 in the final round was amazing. It put a lot of pressure on Rory but Rory didn’t respond.
What about Scheffler laying an egg. World's number 1 goes into final round tie for 5th. Can't even muster up par and ends up 21st.
