The world’s top-ranked player also bogeyed the 18th and wound up with a 67, leaving him at 7 under, two strokes back and out of each.But Fox, Sam Burns and Si Woo Kim all chased after Young, each of them at 8 under and trailing by just a singe stroke with at least four holes to play.Fox was even with Young after birdies on 13 and 14. He dropped one stroke back after a bogey on No. 15, then pulled back into a share of the lead with a birdie on 16. He made par on 17 to set up the chapter of drama. Third-round leader Burns stayed close despite consecutive bogeys on Nos. 4, 5 and 6. He made par on 12 straight holes to complete his round, but could not get the birdie he needed to catch Young. He finished third at 8 under.With a bogey on No. 16, Kim fell back to minus-7 and tied with Scheffler and British favorite Tommy Fleetwood. Scheffler and Fleetwood wound up tied for fourth while Kim slipped to a tie for sixth.Fox claimed the first prize of $3.2 million, Young took home $1.842 million and Burns earned $1.181 million.Homa began the day at 3-under and in a nine-way tie for 20th place.
