Odds and ends

-

The USGA played the 18th as a par 5 rather than keeping with the rotation from the first three days and playing it as a par 4. The reason was a change in the winds from southwest to north Sunday. Players had said the 18th was a great par 5 and questionab­le par 4. ... Chris Kirk finished last among those who made the cut at 21 over and was 18 over on the weekend. He started his final round with a 10 on the first hole. ... Cheng-Tsung Pan, who just turned pro after completing his college career at nearby Washington, was the last player in the field not to make a three-putt. That run lasted for 66 holes before a three-putt bogey on the 13th hole. ... Ben Martin shot 86 in the third round. He shot evenpar 70 on Sunday.
