Loren Roberts On The Run

Loren Roberts figured he needed 6 under to get into contention. He started the final round at 2 under, seven off the lead. He got within a stroke of the leaders on the back nine but finished with 4-under 67 to tie for third. His round was one of the lowest of the day, and it was his third top-10 finish in seven starts. He bogeyed the third hole but followed with three birdies and an eagle on the par-5 12th.  “I thought if I could go 6 under (Sunday) and get to 8 under, that might be good,” Roberts said. “This is a hard golf course to finish on because there’s some awkward driving and you have to hit good iron shots. For me, it’s the putter. If the putter is working, then I don’t have to hit it stiff to make birdies. (Sunday) the putter was working.”
