As I wrote yesterday I expected scoring to be low after officials allowed players to improve their lies through the green, essentially allowing them to tee their balls up in the rough as well as the fairway.
The outcome of this soggy week at the Colonial in north Texas was in doubt right until the last putt, a 7 footer for par that gave Chris Kirke his 4th PGA Tour win with a closing -4 66, -12 268, one ahead of Jordan Spieth, Brandt Snedeker and Jason Bohn.
Snedeker had his chances with a 67, including a birdie putt from 12 feet on the 18th, but it slid past and kept him from tying Kirk. Meanwhile Bohn had his chances with a brilliant 63 that included six consecutive birdies going out in 29 to shoot into contention. Spieth shot 65 capped by a 20 footer for birdie on the 18th and he was waiting near the 1st tee for a possible playoff until Kirke's clutch par clinched the deal and the tartan jacket.
Kevin Na who led for much of the tournament, struggled and shot 72 to finishing in an eight-way tie for 10th at -9,
Adam Hadwin had a great week T5 at -10. David Hearn T33 -4, Graham DeLaet T53 -1 while Mike Weir MC.
