I now begin a new chapter feeling happy, motivated, and at peace, without urgency about what the future may bring. I simply want you to know that I am well and proud of what I accomplished in this sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Pereira\u2019s most infamous moment in golf came at the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa. He entered the final round with a three-stroke lead and headed to 18 up one. He would go on to double-bogey the final hole and end up finishing in third place.
