Unable to convert 54-hole lead Horschel finished in a share of second place after a three-under 68 in the final round of the Open Championship. Impact Horschel was looking to win his first major at the age of 37. He came into the final round with a one-shot advantage and birdied the first hole right out of the gate. He added two more birdies against three bogeys over the next nine holes, but just got stuck on a par train on the back-nine while Xander Schauffele was taking this tournament. Horschel did close with birdies on the final three holes to secure a T2 finish and ensure spots in the Masters and Open Championship next year. The Floridian struggled with majors earlier in his career, but he seems to have found something that works. There's nothing really for Horschel to hang his head about. Schauffele just put together an incredible Sunday performance. Horschel is listed in the field for next week's 3M Open, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he elected to take next week off and process everything.
