Duke golf: Kevin Streelman cards best final round at Zozo Championship

Former Duke golf standout Kevin Streelman carded the best round of Sunday afternoon at the Zozo Championship.

The best round on Sunday afternoon was not enough for Kevin Streelman to get back in contention at the Zozo Championship.

Streelman carded an eight-under round on Sunday at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California, which pushed him to 13-under for the tournament.

In the event with no cut, Streelman went two-over, five-under, two-under, and eight-under in his four rounds, which placed him at T-28 for the Zozo Championship alongside Tyler Duncan, Hideki Matsuyama, Harris English, Kevin Na, Tyrell Hatton, and Shaun Norris.

Starting with the back nine on Sunday, Kevin Streelman had a bogey-free round and birdied holes No. 11, No. 12, No. 14, No. 16, and No. 18, and following the turn to the back nine, he birdied No. 2, No. 4, and No. 9.

Streelman made $50K for his placing during the event.

Former Blue Devil Adam Long also participated in the Zozo Championship, but Long did not have the success Streelman did with a four-under tournament.

Long completed his week with a roller coaster of four rounds, shooting five-over, even, six-under, and three-under to reach his four-under.

Adam Long was T-66 with Shugo Imahira and Mikumu Horikawa and all made $15K for the Zozo Championship.

Long’s round was thrown off with a double-bogey on No. 16. That and a bogey on No. 8 were the only blemishes during his round.

The Zozo Championship was won by Patrick Cantlay at 23-under par, defeating Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas, who both finished at 22-under for the tournament.

Neither Kevin Streelman nor Adam Long will participate in the Bermuda Championship this weekend, and the final tune-up the players will have before competing in The Masters will be at the Vivint Houston Open, November 5-8.

The Masters begin on November 12 and runs through November 15 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.
