Hubbard bogeyed the 72nd hole to fall one shot shy of forcing a playoff at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic on Sunday.
Analysis:
Hubbard has been a journeyman out here on the PGA Tour, but on Sunday he was in a great position to win for the first time holding the 54-hole lead. Sunday was a battle with five birdies and four bogeys, but in the end he came up a shot shy of matching 45-year-old Brandt Snedeker's 18-under-par total. Hubbard was tied for the lead, but a bad drive on 18 forced him to chip out. His third-shot went to about 25 feet, but Hubbard was unable to convert for par. While the victory got away, Hubbard will still get a lot of FedExCup points that could help improve his status later down the line. He won't be in the field for the PGA Championship next week, however.
