First 4 holes of the third round: Missed birdie from 11 feet. Missed birdie from 14 feet. Missed birdie from 5 feet. Missed birdie from 22 feet. Finally made a 9 foot birdie on 5, then missed a 7 foot birdie putt on 6. Then made 5 straight birdies before barely missing a tough 27 footer. Then on 13 my thumb slipped and I left a 5 footer short. Missed a 12 footer on 15. Was hitting it perfect/perfect and dead straight basically the whole round, best I've hit the ball in quite a while. Frankly I'd be surprised if anyone hit it better than I did in the third round. Shot a 62. Should have shot a 56 or 57.
Of course first hole of the fourth round I had a flop roll out like 10 yards then missed the putt by 5 inches. Eagled 2, then missed a 7 foot birdie on 3. Got to -8 through 10, then had a 3-putt par on 11, missing an 8 foot birdie. Finally screwed up something other than a putt on 12 and put my tee shot in the bunker but I put my bunker shot to 3 feet and parred. Fast downswing on 13 and 3-putted for bogey, missing an 8 foot par. If I'd hit it about a foot farther on 14 I would have had a perfect shot, but it rolled down the hill - then I made the 48 foot birdie putt, somehow. Missed a 7 foot birdie on 17. Lipped out a 13 footer on 18.
So, finished with another 62 that should have been a 56 or 57. Puts me at -33 when I should have been around -45 to -50 if I could putt. In the last 2 rounds alone I missed 7 putts inside 10 feet, plus an 11, 12,13, and 14 footer.

Congratulations Matthew 👍🏻 I read your message at the start of the week,where you said you did not think you would be anywhere near . So, it seems you’re a tremendous player , but crappy at predictions ☺️☺️☺️ Good luck on the PGA tour . I’m sure you will do great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Bit gutted to miss out on a top10 by one stroke - but two very soft middle rounds will do that. Gratz to Jared for the win.
And bon voyage to Matthew! Hoping to be following you in a few weeks..

Thanks fellas
I really didn’t think I was anywhere near it this week as I thought my scores wouldn’t be good enough but this course obviously proved tougher that I predicted, I will miss Euro and hopefully I can continue to make cuts on PGA otherwise I’ll see you in 5!weeks
