Final Round
Mangrum began the final round with a two-stroke lead over Hogan. Fazio was the first to post 287 after a 70. Mangrum struggled on his round, carding a 76 which also left him at 287. Hogan had a chance to win the tournament but missed a short putt for par at 15 and then bogeyed 17. In a three-way tie for the lead going to the difficult 18th, Hogan hit one of his most famous shots, a 1-iron approach to 40 feet. He two-putted from there to get into the three-way playoff.
