Danny Willett fluffed his lines as he missed a five-foot putt not once but twice to hand Max Homa victory. The 34-year-old was a stroke ahead of the defending champion and looked set to win as he lay three feet from the pin while the American faced a tough chip.
But Homa, 31, successfully chipped in for birdie, which resulted in a wry smile from Willett and the ex-Masters champion needed to hole his birdie putt to win. With what looked like a seemingly simple shot for victory, the golf star buckled under pressure as the ball went narrowly wide of the hole.
However, all was not lost as the Englishman still had a chance to force a playoff with Homa. But another inexplicable miss, before successfully completing the shot at the third attempt, left Homa with a golden opportunity to win the Fortinet Championship title.
