Knapp finished in a share of fourth place after shooting a four-under 68 in the final round of the Rocket Classic.
ANALYSISKnapp got off to a slow start with an even-par 72 in round one, but made up for it with a course-record 11-under 61 in round two. Knapp would enter the final round just two shots back of the lead. He made birdies on three of the first seven holes, but dropped shots on 9 and 11 hurt his chances. After a great second shot to the par-5 17th, Knapp had a chance for eagle to tie
Chris Kirk in the lead at 22-under. That putt would just burn the edge. He then hit another great approach into the par-4 18th, but once again the putt just missed. Knapp will be kicking himself knowing that he just needed one more shot to join a playoff with Kirk,
Aldrich Potgieter and
Max Greyserman. That said, this T4 finish is a big result given that he hadn't finished better than T27 in an individual event since THE PLAYERS. Knapp will be in the field for the John Deere Classic next week.
