Rory McIlroy has pulled out of this week’s Travelers Championship, a $US20 million PGA Tour signature event, saying on social media that he will take time away from the game before the Genesis Scottish Open next month.
As with all of DeChambeau’s irons, his wedges check in at 37.5 inches in length. That’s the length of a 6 or 7-iron and 2.25 inches longer than Ping’s standard 54 or 56-degree Glide 4.0.
While Pinehurst did its best to knock him down, DeChambeau refused to yield, capping a resurgence whose improbability is bested by the fact that the game’s former divisive figure has become one of its most beloved.
At four-over par and in a tie for 25th, Lee is the best of the three Aussies who made the cut, his third round of two-over 72 comprised of five bogeys and three birdies.
