Here, we take a look at what some of the other players who were chasing victory had to say after their final rounds.

Mike Lorenzo-Vera (66, -15)

"That was cool until the end. I've played a very solid game of golf, the putter was very hot. I'm very disappointed by the finish but pleased I managed to put myself into position again. Off the tee was good, it's been a while, I haven't been playing well off the tee so I'm very happy about it. I'll try to take the positive. If I can keep the driver like that all week, I think I'm going to put myself again into something interesting."

Thomas Aiken (68, -15)

"When you've got an opportunity to win and you don't it's obviously disappointing. But, you know, it's not the first time it happened and it won't be the last. There's days like that when you close well and you end up winning. I've done that before as well. So you play one shot at a time and you try your best and unfortunately it came that close. Unfortunately I didn't hit too many great shots on the back nine but had some good saves and hit some really good putts. Really, just the last two putts on 17, 18, I hit two really good putts and I don't know how they missed the hole."

"I felt I played well enough, just kind of didn't get things going for me on the greens. I gave myself lots of chances but I wasn't able to take advantage of them. But in general, I played well. The first six, seven holes, it was much easier without the wind. The wind kind of picked up on holes seven-eight and then we had a really windy back nine. It was tough. Overall it's just been a good week. It's just disappointing not having been able to be fighting until the end for the title. But I just couldn't get anything going on the greens today."

Jordan Smith (66, -14)

"I'm very happy with the way I played. It got tough on the back nine, especially, the wind picked up. But I'm just really happy that I went out there and got a top 10. I'm over the moon. I obviously knew that I would get a top 10 to get into next week. I've got my parents coming out and a few other people so it will be nice to see them after five weeks away."
