PGA Tour Golfers
Billy Horschel shined in gloomy Scotland this weekend recording his best finish ever at a major championship, tied for second. Horschel dominated on approach and around the green gaining the fourth and ninth most strokes on the field. The 15 year pro held the 54-hole lead before some early troubles Sunday. Horschel would fight until the end, birding the final three holes to finish 7 under, just two shots off the lead.
Giving it everything until the very end.
