AUSTIN, Texas — Cameron Young saved his biggest shots for the end Sunday in a stunning turnaround to knock out Rory McIlroy.
Then it was Sam Burns getting a surprise win of his own to eliminate close friend and defending champion Scottie Scheffler. The final edition of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play didn't lack for entertainment.
It was the first time in the 24-year history that both semifinal matches went extra holes. Right when Austin Country Club was poised for a dream title bout between two of the top players in the world, Young and Burns had the final say.
McIlroy and Scheffler both had a clear advantage in overtime. But McIlroy missed a birdie putt from 9 feet on the first extra hole.
