Lee Trevino says it was OK. He even repeated it. OK. Hadn’t Rory McIlroy led by a couple of shots with five holes to go a few weeks ago at the U.S. Open — only to lose?.

You drove it into a fairway bunker. No problem. You can still reach the green with a few simple tweaks to your setup and swing. First, the setup: Take a slightly narrower stance, position the ball just for – ward of center and set 60 percent of your weight over your front foot.
