Impact Echavarria was in the top-20 of the leaderboard at three-under heading into Sunday. He went one-over on the front nine of the final round but completely fell apart on the back with a five bogeys and a double eagle on the par-5 17th, which was the least difficult hole at Royal Birkdale. Echavarria lost strokes across all categories in the final round but none more than the 4.52 strokes lost with his putter, which was one of the stronger part of his game across the first three rounds. It's a disappointing end to his major season, with missed cuts at The Masters and PGA Championship and a T56 at the U.S. Open. Echavarria is not in the field for the 3M Open next week.
