Tiger is a deserving champion, but he did get a couple of "member's bounces" along the way, otherwise we'd be seeing DiMarco in a green jacket.

What about hit chip shot on the 17th that appeared to hit a sprinkler head, and took a funny bounce. He bogeyed that hole, and DiMarco gained a stroke. Not a very lucky break. What about his first round highlights, a decent put rolled off the green and into the water, not very luck either. Through 72 holes of golf, players will get both lucky and unlucky.
About Dimarco's shot, Nantz (sp?) said something like "How did that not go in". On replay, you can see that the shot was going too fast and off center. Those two factors caused it to miss. His accuracy was almost there, and his speed was a little too fast.
