DeChambeau comes up short: 'Hats off to Rory'
ORLANDO, Fla. Amid a leaderboard chock full of big names and major winners, the person that came closest to catching Rory McIlroy at the Arnold Palmer Invitational turned out to by Bryson DeChambeau.While Henrik Stenson faltered and Justin Rose stalled out, it was DeChambeau that gave chase to McIlroy coming down the stretch at Bay Hill. Birdies on Nos. 12 and 13 were followed by an eagle out of the rough on No. 16, which brought him to within one shot of the lead.But as DeChambeau surveyed his birdie putt from the fringe on the penultimate hole, McIlroy put an effective end to the proceedings with a closing birdie of his own to polish off a round of 64. DeChambeau needed a hole-out eagle on No. 18 to force a playoff, and instead made bogey.That bogey ultimately didnt have an effect on the final standings, as DeChambeau finished alone in second place at 15 under, three shots behind McIlroy after shooting a 4-under 68.I thought 15 under for sure would win today, DeChambeau said. Rory obviously played some incredible golf. I dont know what he did on the last nine, but it was deep. I know that.

DeChambeau will collect $961,000 for his performance this week in Orlando, just $47,000 less than he got for winning the John Deere Classic in July. While he would have preferred to take McIlroys spot in the winners circle, DeChambeau was pleased with his effort in Sundays final pairing as he sets his sights on a return to the Masters.For him to shoot 64 in the final round, thats just, hats off to him, literally. I cant do anything about that, DeChambeau said. I played some great golf, had some great up-and-downs, made a couple key putts coming down the stretch, and theres not really much more I can do about it. My hats off to Rory, and he played fantastic.

• Well, that could have been worse. Frankly, both of those balls he hit off the first tee could have (should have?) gone out of bounds. It was clear he was trying to hit a cut onto the green at the drivable par-4 but said after the round that he toed both attempts.
