DUBLIN, Ohio — Aaron Wise knew he needed a miracle, and for a moment, he thought he got it.
Wise trailed leader Billy Horschel by three shots heading to the 15th hole at Muirfield Village Golf Club. The 546-yard, par-5 is the easiest hole on the course, with almost as many birdies (27) as pars (31) on Sunday.
Wise needed more than a birdie to put pressure on Horschel, but that looked unlikely after he put his tee shot in the sand and then had to chip out into the fairway, 101 yards from the cup. Meanwhile, Horschel hit on the green in two shots. Already slim odds of a comeback looked doomed.
