Player after player, Michael Kim needed to hole a bunker shot, didn't, T2 69 -16, Andrew Putnam needed to hole a bunker shot, didn't T5 -15, it came down to MacIntyre who suffered from the Saturday postponement, lost all his momentum and shot 72 in round 3 after 66 64.

Still a clutch eagle at 17, -16 needing to birdie 18, a great drive into the wind, a terrible 3 wood double cross behind the grandstand into a muddy mire. He got relief  in a muddy lie onto the green 30 feet but the putt wasn't close. T2 -16..

Matt Wallace shot 64 68 on the weekend to also T2 -16
