Mito Pereira looked like he had the yips on the 18th hole of the PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Sunday. He admitted just as much after the tournament.
Pereira entered the final hole of the tournament holding the lead by a stroke but he blew it by hitting his drive into the water on 18. He ended up with a double-bogey on 18 and finished the tournament at -4, which was behind Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris.
Pereira spoke with CBS’ Amanda Balionis after the tournament and talked about what happened on 18.
“I guess you have so much pressure in your body that you maybe don’t even know what you’re doing,” Pereira said.
Pereira ended up finishing the tournament tied for third.
