A dramatic finish at the DP World Genesis Championship left Lori Caner just short of victory despite an astonishing 100 ft putt on the 18th hole. But was it enough to secure the win? Not quite. In the final round, Yuan Lee of South Korea secured an impressive minus 11, leaving Kenter and Spain’s Nacho Elvira at minus 8. The English golfer’s remarkable eagle putt on the last hole wasn’t enough to close the treeot gap to Lee, who claimed the championship title. Kent’s putt, while extraordinary, fell short of the longest putt in a major professional tournament this year. That honor belongs to Patrick Fishburn, who sank a 106 ft putt at the Texas Open in April. But here’s where it gets interesting. Kent’s part was no less thrilling for the spectators. Elvira sharing the lead after the third round seemed poised for victory until bogeies on the 11th and 17th holes dashed his hopes. Meanwhile, Lee’s exceptional final round of 64 left Alvivera needing an eagle to force a playoff, but his shot found the water instead. Kent’s final score of 67, including three birdies, secured him a tie for second place with Elvier. Fellow countryman Andy Sullivan also impressed, finishing tight for fourth. Lee’s win was a crowd-pleaser as he acknowledged the support. The gallery cheered me on and I felt their strength. But this raises a question in a spot where margins are so fine, how much does crowd support truly impact a player’s performance? Is it a decisive factor or merely a nice boost? What do you think? Was Kent’s part a stroke of genius or a lucky break? And could crowd support have made the difference for Alvivera or Kent? Share your thoughts in the comments.
