22 D Berger-15 71 No bogies in first 2 RDs looses lead with 4 bogies 10 to 14.

FINAL ROUND Kevin Yu from Taiwan is the unlikely winner with 5 birdies on his last 10 holes to catch leaders Hossler, who had 2 bogies and 2 birdies on back 9, and Keith Mitchell who had a 2 stroke lead over Yu after 12 holes.  He 3 putted for bogie on 18 and missed the playoff. 

Yu defeated Hostler with a birdie on the first playoff hole.  At 26 it is his first PGA win and he made $1.4M and moves to #60 in FedX standings. Big disappointment for Kevin Mitchell who had it won after 12 holes but no birdies 1 bogie on the next 6.
