Roberts edges O’Meara to win Boeing

SNOQUALMIE, Wash. (AP)—Walking up the 18th hole, Mark O’Meara couldn’t avoidthe giant video board replaying Loren Roberts’ tee shot on the 17th, his ballbouncing into the fringe behind the hole, somehow wiggling from the longer grassto gently slide 5 feet from the cup.

For the eighth time since joining the Champions Tour, O’Meara was stucksettling for second place.

Roberts made the short birdie putt on 17 to draw even with O’Meara, thensank a 3-foot birdie putt on the 18th to steal the Boeing Classic title Sundayand keep O’Meara winless on the Champions Tour.

Roberts finished at 18 under, thanks to a final-round 65 and a fortuitousbounce on 17 when the ball came out of the fringe and trickled its way towardthe hole.

“I saw it get a foot up into the fringe. It just goes to show you, and I’vesaid it when I’ve won, ‘Hey, it was my day. I got lucky.’ There is a lot ofskill involved but it’s all a matter of getting the right break at the righttime,” O’Meara said. “Who knows, maybe that ball could have stayed up there.But it doesn’t work that way and he’s got the trophy.”

Roberts won for the third time this season, adding to victories at the ACEGroup Classic and the Senior British Open last month.

O’Meara led by a shot until an untimely bogey on the short, par-4 16th whenhis second shot bounced on the lip of a bunker short of the green and fell backinto the sand. O’Meara rebounded with a birdie on the 17th, but could onlymanage a par on the par-5 18th when his tee shot found a fairway bunker.

Roberts took advantage. He nearly matched O’Meara’s sterling tee shot at 17,a shot that Roberts had been dreading all week. With water fronting the greenthe pin was placed in the back left corner. Roberts, who struggles withright-to-left shots, got his 5-iron to turn over just enough to catch a ridgeseparating the green.

But he didn’t see the ball hop into the fringe and pop free.

“That’s a tough pin for me to get at,” Roberts said. “I put probably thebest swing of the tournament for me. … For me to get into position was to makethe birdie at 17. I’d been thinking about that hole all week.”

Roberts then birdied the final hole with three solid shots. From 50 yardsout Roberts used a wedge and hit a low skip shot that landed on the fringe,checked up and rolled just a few feet from the cup. O’Meara was on the drivingrange prepping for a potential playoff when Roberts dropped his winning putt.

“I’m not going to say second is terrible because it’s not terrible,”O’Meara said. “But when you’ve come close as I have and not break through yet,and today could have been a great breakthrough day for me. Unfortunately I’llhave to wait until next week.”

Dan Forsman and Bernhard Langer finished tied for third place at 14 under.Hal Sutton made a huge charge, shooting a tournament-low round of 63 includingan eagle on the final hole. Sutton finished at 12 under and in fifth place.

Second-round co-leader Mark McNulty stumbled at the start with a four-puttfrom about 40 feet after reaching the par-5 first in two shots. McNulty shot a3-over 75 and finished in eighth place at 8 under.

Mike Reid, from Westminster, M… AP – Aug 23, 7:28 pm EDT

Separated by one group, Roberts and O’Meara turned the final round into atwo-man match of O’Meara dropping birdies and Roberts matching.

O’Meara made nine birdies, including five on the back nine, with his onlyblemish coming at the 16th, part of an 8-under 64. But he still hasn’t won a PGATour sanctioned event since the 1998 British Open.

O’Meara made birdies at Nos. 6, 7, 8, then spun a fairway bunker shot to 6feet for a birdie at No. 10. He hit another stellar bunker shot at the 12th toabout 4 feet and another at the 210-yard par-3 13th, pushed O’Meara to 16 under.

But Roberts answered each charge, thanks to a putter that saw Roberts makejust one bogey Sunday—one of only two bogeys the entire tournament.

Roberts birdied Nos. 7 and 8, then saw his birdie putt on 10 do a 360 aroundthe hole and drop to get to 14 under. He pulled even with O’Meara at 15 underwith a birdie on the 12th and added another at the 13th, from the fringe, toreach 16 under.

Roberts hit just 23 putts in his round and nine on the closing nine holes.He also closed the gap with leader Fred Funk in the Charles Schwab Cup pointsrace. Roberts now trails by 86 points.

“No question I holed some putts there on the back nine,” Roberts said. “Imade some putts today, believe me.”
