Graeme McDowell can’t seem to buy a break

McDowell left the course shattered by a poor finish that seriously compromises his hopes of participating in the Open Championship over the coming weeks, writes John McHenry.

As a former US Open Champion (2010) and winner of 16 professional tournaments worldwide, the four-time Ryder Cupper understands how to get the job done, but where once everything seemed easy, nowadays McDowell, who has accumulated more than €19m in earnings on the European Tour alone, can’t buy a break.
