Summary
He shot 5-over 75 on Sunday."Obviously, sad to be here and not in the playoff, not make par, just straight win," Pereira said. I just hit in the water."I mean, I wish I could do it again."According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Pereira is the third player over the past 20 years to double-bogey the 72nd hole in a major and finish 1 shot out of a playoff. I mean, [Sunday] morning was tough."Pereira barely missed a 12½-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th hole that would have given him a 2-shot cushion.Despite the crushing defeat, Pereira hopes his breakthrough performance in just his second start in a major will propel him to big things in the future.
