After costly three-putt, Danny Willett will 'live to fight another day'

Danny Willett had 3 feet, 7 inches for birdie to win the Fortinet Championship.

He ended up losing it outright.

In a crazy two-shot swing on the final green Sunday at Silverado Resort, Willett three-putted for bogey from inside 4 feet after playing competitor Max Homa chipped in for birdie moments earlier. And instead of Willett winning on the PGA Tour for the first time since the 2016 Masters, it was Homa successfully defending his title at the PGA Tour’s season opener in Napa, California.

“Just a shame how I finished, but that's golf, we're going to do it again another day,” Willett said.
