Imagine sinking a 100 ft putt in a high stakes championship only to fall just short of victory. That’s exactly what happened to Lori Caner at the DP World Genesis Championship where his jaw-dropping eagle on the 18th hole wasn’t enough to claim the title. But here’s where it gets controversial. Was Kent’s incredible shot overshadowed by the tournament’s outcome, or did it steal the show? Let’s dive in. The final round of the Genesis Championship in South Korea delivered drama and surprises. Yung Huan Lee of South Korea clinched the win with a stunning seven under 64, finishing at minus 11. Meanwhile, Caner and Spain’s Noo Alva tied for second at minus 8, leaving fans to wonder what could have been. And this is the part most people miss. Alvivera who led heading into the back ninth stumbled with bogis on the 11th and 17th handing Lee the advantage. Did those mistakes cost him the championship or was Lee’s flawless performance simply unstoppable? Kent’s 100 ft eagle part on the 18th hole was the highlight of his final round 67 which also included three birdies. While it wasn’t enough to secure the win, it cemented his place as a fan favorite. Speaking of long putts, Patrick Fishburn’s 106 ft putt at the Texas Open earlier this year still holds the title for the longest in a major professional tournament in 2025. But Kent’s moment was no less spectacular. Elsewhere on the leaderboard, England’s Andy Sullivan tied for fourth at minus 7 alongside Italy’s Andrea Povven and Japan’s Uto Coturoga. Notable mentions include Alex Fitzpatrick, Scott Jameson, and Callum Hill at minus4 and Adam Scott, Ben Schmidt, and Marcus Amitic at minus3.

Lee’s victory was fueled by the roaring support of the home crowd. “This was my best round, especially with the gallery cheering for me,” he told Sky Sports. “They gave me the strength I needed, and I hope to live up to their expectations in the future. But here’s a thoughtprovoking question. Does the energy of a home crowd truly impact a player’s performance or is it all in their hate? Let us know in the comments. Elvarus Nemesis on the 18th where he needed an eagle to force a playoff but sent his second shot into the water added another layer of drama. Was it nerves or simply bad luck? Meanwhile, Caner’s performance raises another question. Should we celebrate moments of brilliance even if they don’t lead to victory? Bully put, is the journey more important than the destination? Share your thoughts below. This is one debate golf fans won’t want to miss.
