"Its such a hard tournament to win, especially from the lead because you know everyonne is back there firing at the hole," Cochran said.dddddddddddd "The drive on the 18th hole was a big deal because youve made these birdies now, and you dont ever want to give a guy like David Frost another chance. "Hes a tremendous player, one of the best putters and short game guys Ive ever seen. He is unbelievable." Kirk Triplett was third at 14 under after a 68. Gary Hallberg (66) was fourth at 13 under, and Michael Allen (70) and Anders Forsbrand (69) followed at 11 under.
