OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. – Mackenzie Hughes has won on the PGA Tour, and he has played in five major championships. But he admits he may never have felt as nervous as he was standing over a 5-foot par putt to close out the BMW Championship.
“That was some of the most pressure I’ve felt in a long time,” Hughes said.
Of course, this wasn’t just any par putt. After blocking his approach from the middle of the fairway, Hughes needed to convert his sand save to finish T-10 at Olympia Fields and earn enough points to sneak into the 30-man Tour Championship.
