"I haven't played in the mountains in six months," Peacock said. "We've had a lot of snow up there. So I'm not really used to my yardages in the mountains because I haven't really played up there. Fortunately I had a couple opportunities to play practice rounds here and kind of went from there."
Peacock shot a 70 in the opening round and took a two-shot lead into Tuesday's final round. He then fired a 2-under 34 on the back to pull away. Peacock birdied the par-5 11th and 198-yard par-3 16th hole with a 5-iron to 6 feet, then bogeyed the par-4 17th when his approach was short of the green and he missed a 15-foot par putt. Peacock closed the tournament by holing a 22-foot birdie putt on the 568-yard par-5 18th, which hugs water on the right.
"I felt like if I got the ball on the green in regulation I'd be OK," Peacock said. "I had confidence with the putter coming down the stretch."
Congratulations to Oliver on this impressive win!
