NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Hunter Mahan didn't see a leaderboard until only two holes were left. Any other tournament, maybe any other time in his career, three shots behind that deep into the final round would have felt like a dire situation.
This was cause for celebration.
"I saw that I was in second," Mahan said. "And in my head I was like, 'That's x-amount of money, and that guarantees my card.' I had three holes to play, but there was a lot going on in my head at that time. It was pretty draining the last couple of holes.
