Rory McIlroy's advice to Monday-qualifying hopeful who missed short putt: 'Don't miss 1-footers'

While the PGA Tour's best compete for guaranteed money at the no-cut WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational this week in Memphis, the Tour's other members will play the opposite-field Barracuda Championship in Truckee, California.

Justin Warren, though, won't be among them.

The 24-year-old doesn't hold a Tour card, but he did find himself with a chance to qualify for his first Tour event during Monday's qualifier for the Barracuda at Hidden Valley Country Club in Reno, Nevada. However, Warren missed a 4-footer on his final hole to fall into a playoff for the final qualifying spot, and he then lipped out a 1-footer in the playoff to miss out altogether.
