Matt Jager had autographed scorecards for 67, 66 and 64 after his first three rounds at the Players Amateur in Bluffton, South Carolina. He can be forgiven for imagining that another 66 in round 4 would be enough for a victory in this semi-major amateur tournament. Mark Anderson, three behind Jager on Sunday morning, fired a 60 to snatch the title from Jager. Earlier in the day, Chesson Hadly had lit some fireworks of his own with another 60. A weekend that began with Paula Creamer’s 60 at the Jamie Farr Classic on the LPGA Tour ended with twin explosions at Belfair Country Club.
