Curtis Strange finished two under par at 286, six behind Hale Irwin and Mike Donald who play off for the title. He vowed no tears, saying the Open is not a weight and he still believes he can win another U S Open and perhaps a third straight title. He cited a shaky putter and a late energy slump as turning points, with a costly mis-hit on a 4 iron at the 12th.
