Patrick Cantlay’s putting derails his quest to win his first major championship at the US Open

Associated Press  

PINEHURST, N.C. — Patrick Cantlay has spent the majority of the past five years ranked in the top 10 in the world but has had few realistic chances to win a major championship. But he ultimately couldn’t take advantage and shot 70 on Sunday, finishing at 4-under 276 and tying for third, two shots behind winner Bryson DeChambeau and one back of playing partner Rory McIlroy. Earlier, on the par-3 ninth hole Cantlay had another good tee shot to set up another birdie chance from 8 feet, but the putt skipped past the left side of the cup and kept going. Cantlay said it’s time to keep pushing ahead as he looks forward to the British Open, where his best finish was a tie for eighth in 2022.
