England’s Laurie Canter sank a 100-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole as he finished in a tie for second at the Genesis Championship in South Korea.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old’s incredible final putt helped him finish alongside Spain’s Nacho Elvira on eight under in Cheonan – three shots behind home winner Jung-Hwan Lee.<\/p>\n
Patrick Fishburn’s 106-foot putt at the Texas Open in April is the longest in a major professional tournament in 2025.<\/p>\n
Elvira, who shared the third-round lead with Sweden’s Mikael Lindberg, headed into the back nine in front, but bogeys at the 11th and 17th proved costly.<\/p>\n
South Korea’s Lee fired a superb seven-under final round of 64 which meant Elvira need an eagle on the 18th to force a play-off, but he sent his second shot into the water to end any hopes.<\/p>\n
Canter’s final round score of 67 included three birdies, with fellow Englishman Andy Sullivan finishing tied for fourth after a final-round 70.<\/p>\n
“This was my best round, especially as the gallery out there were really cheering for me. They gave me the strength I needed,” Lee told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
“I just hope I can live up to their expectations in the future as well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England’s Laurie Canter sank a 100-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole as he finished in a tie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226286,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-226285","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
