COMMENTARY

Top 5 from RD3 were the only ones who had a clear chance to win.

I thought Clark or Burns had the experience to win, but both failed in key spots on the last 2 holes which decided the winner.

Poston Went off at 100/1 and blew a 4 stroke lead after RD3. He tied it at-12 with a key long putt on 18, then won on the 2nd playoff hole

Gerard Went off at 125/1. Placed #2 at 1st 2 tournaments of the year Sony& AM XP, and lead the Charles Schwab after 2 RDs, but faded and finished 10th.
