“I feel like I’ve been playing good for a really long time this year, even starting back in the fall. Just been staying patient, and I know this course is a good course for being patient and hitting fairways and hitting greens and short game is a big deal around here and I think I chipped it fairly well.

“It was just one of those weeks where I kind of had a good feeling about it all week long. I’ve just been playing well and it was about time that I was due to string four good ones together and fortunately that’s what I did today.”

The American started the day in a four-way tie for the lead and opened with a double bogey at the par-4 1st. He recovered with three birdies on the front nine to make the turn in 35 before making two more to close with a 69 and reach 13-under at TPC San Antonio.

“I was pretty upset, but the only thing, the saving grace to that or the thing I learned from that is it’s the first hole. Like if I was 2 over through 5, it probably would have felt different, but I knew because it was only the first hole, like you’ve just got to forget about it.

“I actually thought to myself if I was at 8-under starting on the fourth round and playing the first hole and I made par and I was 8-under, I would be happy because the first hole is actually really tough, especially with that wind. So I just didn’t let it bother me and I just tried to overcome and I did.”

The last time a PGA Tour winner started his final round with a double bogey was in 2008 when Tiger Woods won the U.S. Open and won in a playoff the next day.

Fellow American Matt Kuchar also needed a win to make it to the Masters but had to settle for a share of second place at 11-under after closing with a 69. Tied alongside him is Australian Matt Jones who carded a 66.

Canadian Adam Hadwin closed with a 67 for a share of fourth place at 10-under alongside Americans Troy Merritt, Charles Howell III and overnight co-leader Beau Hossler.

South African Dylan Frittelli, who also shared the 54-hole lead alongside Brandt Snedeker, signed for a 73 and finished tied for 8th at 9-under. Snedeker’s final 75 placed him in a tie for 18th at 7-under.
