As the leaders teed off this morning, the top 20 on the leaderboard were separated by just two shots.
In the end it was Scot Richie Ramsay who ran a streak of 4 birdies in a row then survived a bogey on the seventh, and two duffed chips at the short eighth en route to a triple bogey six. However he recovered with 2 more birdies to get to -10 as every one else couldn't get past -8 except Romain Wattel who made a great birdie at 17 to get to -9, then made Ramsey squirm with a monster drive on 18, and needing a birdie to tie went for the flag and came up short and right to settle for 2nd.
George Coetzee 70, needing a win to get to Augusta, tried his best but ended up T3 at -8 along with 6 others.
I can only imagine the Golf Channel ran out of satellite time as they cut away from Morocco at the last critical moments to go to the Valero and missed the entire finale !! They posted a tweet when it was all over to say " those wishing to see the remainder of the Trophee Hassan II can live stream .."
Talk about too little too late..
