Former Duke golf star Kevin Streelman can’t hang with weekend leaders
Former Duke golf star Kevin Streelman wasn’t able to ride his hot hand into the weekend at the Workday Charity Open.
It was just about a perfect two rounds of golf for former Blue Devil Kevin Streelman at the Workday Charity Open in Dublin, Ohio.
Streelman was in prime position for yet another run at the tournament title after being paired in the final group entering Saturday afternoon with Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa, but the Duke golf product just couldn’t hang with the leaders.

Following his round on Friday, the 41-year old was 10-under following an eight-under, 64, in Round Two.
However, that was as good as things would get for Kevin Streelman as he followed that stellar round with a one-under, 71, on Saturday.
As the PGA Tour moved up tee times on Sunday to avoid weather, Streelman was still in contention, but it would have been a major surprise if the former Blue Devil was able to come back and win the tournament.
Kevin Streelman ended up shooting an even-par, 72, on Sunday, which resulted in an 11-under for the weekend and a T-7 finish alongside Jason Day, Billy Horschel, Sam Ryder, Charley Hoffman, Patrick Cantlay, and Russell Henley.
The tournament was won by Morikawa, who was able to come back from down three strokes with three holes to play and then outduel Thomas in three sudden-death playoff holes.
