Kiefer (68) Wins on the Rebound

Jack Kiefer, who blew a two-shot lead by closing the third round with three consecutive bogeys, shot a three-under-par 68 on Sunday for a two-stroke victory in the $1.1-million du Maurier Champions at Etobicke, Ontario.

On Saturday, Kiefer had a two-stroke lead over Jim Colbert and Graham Marsh with three holes to play. But Colbert emerged as the third-round leader by a stroke after Kiefer’s late collapse.

Kiefer finished with a 15-under-par 269 total after four trips around the 6,686-yard St. George’s Golf and Country Club course.

Colbert had a 71 Sunday and was at 13-under 271, two strokes ahead of Marsh, who had a 72.

Kiefer pulled into a first-place tie with Colbert with an opening-hole birdie Sunday. The two made the turn tied at 14 under before Kiefer took a one-stroke lead with a birdie at No. 11.
