Roland Thatcher posted a final round of 8-under-par 64 and finished in a three-way tie for second place at the Buick Open.
Thatcher went out early in the morning at 3-under-par on his opening nine, then he opened the back nine with three consecutive birdies. He added two birdies at the 14th and 16th hole and after his birdie at the 16th hole, he was briefly tied with Tiger Woods for the lead. Thatcher has been playing with medical extension (Q School/Nationwide Tour category) this year and today's check for $380,800 easily fulfilled the requirement of $144,520 to play in the Major Medical category for the rest of the 2009 season.
