Bryson DeChambeau and Lee Westwood produced drama early in the final round of The Players Championship as both made huge mistakes at the fourth.
With Westwood maintaining his overnight two-shot lead after a birdie, bogey start against three pars from the American, both found water off the tee at the fourth - Westwood getting wet for the second time on the day.
DeChambeau, hitting a hybrid for position, topped his tee shot and his ball bounded into the water just 143 yards away, giving Westwood the ideal opportunity to extend his advantage.
But the 47-year-old came out of his swing with a fairway-wood and carved his tee shot way right, failing to clear the water by just a few feet and a similar shot to the one that led to a bogey-six at the second.
DeChambeau then got into further trouble when he blocked his third deep into the trees to the right of the green, and his initial punch-out did not come close to finding the putting surface after Westwood had knocked a safe second to the back of the green.
To his credit, the US Open champion played an incredible pitch for his fifth shot and made the putt to salvage a double-bogey, while Westwood two-putted to limit the damage to a single dropped shot.
Incredibly, Westwood found water twice in two holes and remained two shots ahead of the field!
