Matt McCarty was putting together the round of his life—and maybe the best in PGA Tour history—until he wasn’t.
In the final round of Japan’s Baycurrent Classic, the 27-year-old was 4 under on his day making the turn. Then, he carded eight consecutive birdies and went to the 490-yard, par-4 9th hole (he started on the back nine) needing a birdie for 58.
