ROUND 3 I think Potgieter, Knapp or Greyrserman win.

1 A Potgieter-19 65 Best driver on tour 5 straight birdies 4 to 8, 0 bogies.

2 J Knapp-17 66 Birdies last 3 holes only 1 bogie. May win!!!

2 C Kirk-17 69 Only 1 bogie for a total of 3, but not enough birdies.

2 M Hubbard-17 67 Too many bogies 4 in this RD.

2 M Greyserman-17 Eagle, birdie, 2 bogies front 9, then bogie free-5 back.

10 C Morikawa-15 68 He was picked to win at 12/1, now time to prove it.

FINAL ROUND I think one of the top 10 will win, but anyone of 29 players could shoot

a 61 or 63 to win. If Morikawa can do it, he will re-establish himself as a top payer.

Low RD was 65 Harry Higgs. Morikawa shot 68 with 2 meaningless birdies on 14&17.

COMMENTARY Morikawa did not rise to the occasion, but it was an exciting tournament where to favorites were not a factor, except #10 Greyserman at 35/1. Kirk was 80/1 & Potgieter 110/1. Potgieter lost lead-22 with bogie on 15, Kirk birdies 17 to take lead-22, Greyserman birdies 16&17-22 to tie and Potgieter birdies 17 to tie-22.

Three man playoff.

#1 all 3 make long putts.

#2 Greyserman misses 12’ birdie putt to win.

#3 Kirk bogies to drop out.

#4 Potgieter birdies #15 to win, same hole he bogied in the final RD to lose lead.

1 A Potgieter-22 Wins on 5th playoff hole for his 1st PGA win. Led 2 of 1st 3 RDs. $1.7M

1 C. Kirk-22 Bogies 2nd playoff hole. Only one with for RDs-70. Only 5 bogies $854K

1 M Greyserman-22 Missed makable putt on 2nd Play Off hole for win. $854K

4 Jake Knapp-21 Bogies on 9&11 takes him out of it, he will win this year. $432K

8 Colin Morikawa-19 Never a factor birdies 14&17 for top 10 finish, putting problems. $262K
