AKRON, Ohio — PGA Tour veteran Jim Furyk once again tasted disappointment at Firestone Country Club after squandering a share of the 54-hole lead in Sunday's final round at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Two strokes in front overnight along with England's Justin Rose, Furyk struggled with his ball-striking for much of the day and carded a two-over 72 to finish tied for third, four strokes behind winner Shane Lowry of Ireland.
It was the 10th time out of 10 that the 45-year-old American had failed to convert at least a share of the 54-hole lead into victory at a PGA Tour event since the most recent of his 17 wins, at the 2010 Tour Championship.
