Homa had arrived at Quail Hollow on Sunday with an even-par score. He started his final round with two pars on the first two holes. However, he carded a double bogey on the par-4 3rd hole.

His tee shot landed way left, followed by his third hit missing as well. A visibly frustrated Max Homa threw away his club in anger and then quickly walked up to pick it up.
