Noren considered hitting a hybrid, "but I was in a downhill lie and the grain of the fairway was into me. I thought I was going to thin it a bit and I didn't really fancy being in the water short. I hit the 3-wood. I don't know where it bounced, but it went past the green." In hindsight, he said he probably should have laid up, then hit a wedge into the green in an attempt make birdie and win.
