England’s Laurie Canter sank a 100-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole as he finished in a tie for second at the Genesis Championship in South Korea.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 35-year-old’s incredible final putt helped him finish alongside Spain’s Nacho Elvira on eight under in Cheonan – three shots behind home winner Jung-Hwan Lee.<\/p>\n
Patrick Fishburn’s 106-foot putt at the Texas Open in April is the longest in a major professional tournament in 2025.<\/p>\n
Elvira, who shared the third-round lead with Sweden’s Mikael Lindberg, headed into the back nine in front, but bogeys at the 11th and 17th proved costly.<\/p>\n
South Korea’s <\/b>Lee fired a superb seven-under final round of 64 which meant Elvira need an eagle on the 18th to force a play-off, but he sent his second shot into the water to end any hopes.<\/p>\n
Canter’s final round score of 67 included three birdies, with fellow Englishman Andy Sullivan finishing tied for fourth after a final-round 70.<\/p>\n
“This was my best round, especially as the gallery out there were really cheering for me. They gave me the strength I needed,” Lee told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
“I just hope I can live up to their expectations in the future as well.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
