Former Florida golf standout [autotag]Billy Horschel[/autotag] finished tied for second at the 152nd British Open at Royal Troon on Sunday after relinquishing a third-round lead to eventual winner Xander Schauffele. He finished at 7-under par alongside England’s Justin Rose in the final tally.
Nonetheless, it was yet another superb effort from the Gators alumnus — one that will make the Orange and Blue proud.
Playing through some brutal Scottish rain, the Horschel put on a short-game clinic on the back-9 to take the solo lead at the 54-hole mark on Saturday. Unfortunately, Schauffele surged into the lead with a sizzling stretch of four birdies in six holes, holding on to win by two strokes.
Below is a look at highlights from Horschel’s efforts in Scotland last weekend.
