Golf professional Bernd Wiesberger missed promotion to the knockout round at the match-play tournament in Austin. The Burgenlander had to admit defeat to the American Kevin Streelman with 1 on Friday in his third group game.
Wiesberger had previously lost to the Mexican Abraham Ancer in the $ 10.5 million competition and defeated the Norwegian Viktor Hovland.
The 35-year-old lost the first two holes against the American, but was tied on lanes 12 and 13. Thanks to a birdie on the 14th hole, Streelman immediately took the lead again and did not give it up.
At the PGA tournament in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Sepp Straka made the cut with ease. After a round of 72 the day before, the Viennese living in the USA needed 68 strokes (4 under par) this time and made up around 30 places. The 27-year-old played on holes six to eight with birdie-eagle-birdie and did not have to accept a loss of stroke.
