MALVERN, Pa.–A methodical Robert Rohanna, a mini-tour professional from Waynesburg, Pa., who entered the third and final round with a two-stroke lead, kept a comfortable distance between himself and his pursuers all day on Wednesday en route to the 94th Open Championship title at Applebrook GC (par 71, 6,815 yards). Rohanna posted a final-round of even-par 71 to finish three shots clear of runner-up Blaine Peffley of Lebanon, Pa. Zak Drescher of Landisville, Pa., who played in the final grouping with Peffley and Rohanna, posted a closing 72 to finish as the low amateur.
It was Rohanna's first professional victory. He left the amateur ranks this past January.
