Last weekend, Joel Dahmen was left in shock after he lost by one stroke to Garrick Higgo at the Corales Puntacana Championship.
Despite the loss, he still spoke to the media right after, but it was clear it would take time to overcome that loss.
Now that he had a few days to process, Dahmen took to social media to air out his feelings.
"If anyone is wondering what it feels like to give away a golf tournament, it sucks. I'm learning from it and will have another chance. The amount of support and well wishes I've received has been amazing. I want to thank everyone for that. Onward and upward," Dahmen wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Dahmen led most of the tournament, but a disastrous final round cost him. He bogeyed the last three holes to sign for a 4-over 76 on Sunday. It was not his best performance, but he found the strength to reflect.
