1470010816146

It’s official: Jordan Spieth has failed to win a major championship in the 2016 PGA season.

Spieth carded a two-under 68 in Sunday’s fourth round at the 2016 PGA Championship. He’s now in a tie for 14th place. Spieth is four strokes behind current clubhouse leader Daniel Summerhays (-10) for the tournament and seven strokes short of overall leader Jimmy Walker (-13).

The 23-year-old Texan entered Sunday with 35 holes to play. Rain cut his third round short Saturday after just one hole, leaving him with an early wake-up call for a long day of golf at Baltusrol Golf Club.

Spieth, who was three under overall heading into Sunday, carded a one-under 69 in his third round. After struggling through Thursday and Friday with poor putting, Spieth cut his strokes on the short grass down but still failed to make a big push up the leaderboard. Here’s what Spieth said after his third round, per Golf Channel’s Will Gray :

I discovered after the first two rounds that my ball position was significantly up in my stance with the putter. It’s really a shame because it knocked off my speed control. I had a lot of opportunities the first two rounds to be 6-to-9 under par instead of 3, and I just didn’t get anything going. If I had discovered that ahead of time, it would have made a world of difference because I hit great putts today, just didn’t have as many chances.
