KAILUA-KONA — After three days, 53 holes and countless highs and lows, just a few inches was the difference at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai on Saturday.
Duffy Waldorf sunk a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole of the tournament to cap a 6-under 66 third round, finishing at 18-under 198 for the tournament and edging Tom Lehman by a stroke.
“When I got to it, it just looked good,” Waldorf said. “Sometimes you would rather have a longer putt that you really feel good about the break. It lined up really well, felt comfortable and I just felt like I needed to give it a run because Tom was in really good shape with a very makeable putt.
