In a dramatic turn of events at the Masters, Bryson DeChambeau fell short after a disappointing performance on No. 18. The professional golfer, who was considered a favorite before the tournament began, needed just a simple bogey to make the cut. Instead, he recorded a triple bogey, plunging him from a 3-over to 6-over total for the tournament.
