Round 4

John Senden chipped in for birdie from 70 feet on the 16th hole, one of only two birdies in the final round at the toughest hole on the course. He followed that with a 20-foot birdie putt to build a two-shot lead, then made it tough for Kevin Na to catch him with perfect pace on a 40-foot putt on the 18th that left him only a tap-in for par.

Senden closed with a 1-under 70 for his first win in 7 years that earned him a trip to the Masters.

Graham DeLaet (68) and David Hearn (71) both finished nicely at T8.
