Brandel Chamblee has been left shocked by the latest events on the PGA Tour, primarily at the Wyndham Championship.

The last regular season PGA Tour event suffered early drama, with rain forcing 36 holes on the Wyndham Championship final day.

Aaron Rai then emerged victorious at Sedgefield Country Club, with Matt Kuchar refusing to play the 18th hole at the Wyndham Championship.

Rai won by two shots after his final round 64, with Kuchar opting to finish his fourth round on Monday due to bad light.

The Englishman managed to lift the trophy despite trailing Max Greyserman by four shots midway through the back nine.

Greyserman eagled the par four 13th, but quickly lost his way with a quadruple bogey on the 14th after his drive went out of bounds.

The stunning turnaround left Chamblee in shock, with the TV analyst saying on Golf Central: “This is why live sports is important to TV. You had to see that to believe it.

“As a matter of fact, I saw it and I still don’t believe it! I don’t think even the most creative of sports writers could have written a scenario like this. I don’t think even the most creative writers in general could have written this.

“When Max Greyserman was standing on the 15th tee he was -5,000 to win. Which roughly means if you wanted to win $100 (£78), you would have had to bet $5,000 to win.

“We hear all the time about how hard it is to win, but if the last few weeks of the Olympics and this week doesn’t convince you that it is hard to close out championships and tournaments, nothing will.”

Chaotic Wyndham Championship typifies memorable summer of golf

Greyserman still had a chance to win despite his nightmare hole, with the rookie responding with a birdie at the 15th.

But a four-putt on the 16th ended the American’s title hopes, with Rai moving in the opposite direction to secure the win.

The remarkable turnaround typifies a memorable few months in golf, with Rory McIlroy having also suffered a nightmare final round at the US Open in June.

Scottie Scheffler then produced a phenomenal final round to clinch the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Scheffler predicted to represent Team USA at LA 2028.

Lydia Ko meanwhile qualified for the Ladies Professional Golf Association Hall of Fame after winning gold in the French capital, with the former world number one having won silver in Rio and bronze in Tokyo.
