After carding a four-under-par front nine of 31, it seemed that Max Greyserman was on-course to claim a first PGA Tour title, with the American two shots clear of a congested leaderboard at the Wyndham Championship midway through the final round.
Playing the hardest section of the golf course, Greyserman narrowly missed a birdie chance at the 10th as a classy up-and-down at the 11th was followed by a steady par at the 12th.
He looked in control and, at the par 4 13th after finding the fairway, it seemed that the killer blow was dealt, as Greyserman fired his 90-yard wedge shot past the flag and spun it in to the middle of the cup for an unlikely eagle. In that one moment, the 29-year-old’s lead went from two to four!
The lead was comfortable and, after a second eagle of the round, it seemed that the trophy was heading the way of Greyserman. That was until a pivotal moment at the very next hole!
Waiting on the tee, a common theme throughout the final round, the American pushed his tee shot right and, after making contact with the cart path, the ball finished out of bounds by a number of feet.
Reloading, his next tee shot finished in the thick rough and, inexcusably, Greyserman then put his fourth shot into the bunker, some 50-yards short of the green. His pain wasn’t over though as, with his fifth, he still hadn’t found the green, with his chip shot then running some eight-feet by the flag.
Needing to hole the putt for a triple bogey and to keep his advantage intact, Greyserman missed on the low side, with a quadruple bogey eight meaning he went from four shots clear to a share of the lead with Aaron Rai in minutes!
