Alex Norén lost in rainy Texas

Alex Norén has been waiting since last summer for a real top spot on the PGA Tour. After three rounds in McKinney, Texas, the hit seemed to come – but then came the crash and the Swede fell from third to 21st place.

TT Alex Norén puts in the rain after McKinney/APK/AP having lined up birdies during the first three days of the PGA Tour outside Dallas, a double bogey came on Sunday's third hole. A completely missed chip and a two-meter putt that did not go in became symptomatic of the round, where Norén only got two birdies. In the end, he went around on 74 strokes, two over par, and saw 18 players pass in the results list. But Norén was not alone in losing on the closing day. Sunday in McKinney was dominated by heavy rain that increased more and more and hit the late starters the worst. What had previously been an easy-to-play course with low scores became heavier, the green hits became fewer and the reversals on the leaderboard were many. Only two of the top players remained at the top, and it went best for the South Korean KH Lee. After a rain break, he was able to finish with two straight birdies and extend the lead he had taken early in the round. In the end, 29-year-old Lee was able to take his first PGA victory, three strokes ahead of the American Sam Burns. Iceland and South Carolina. Spieth revealed before the competition that after the US Masters just over a month ago he was infected with covid-19, but said that he was now healthy. Spieth's 71 strokes caused him to fall from a split third place to a final ninth place.
