Roberto was well into the back nine and still getting birdies before he could shake all but Goalby, playing two holes to the rear and matching him birdie for birdie.
It was on the 18th hole that Roberto hit his only poor shot of the day, a four-iron that hooked into the spectators alongside the left of the green and trickled down the hill in front of the press tower, coming to rest on the matted brown grass trampled by the gallery throughout the week.
DeVicenzo signed for a 4 instead of a 3 on the 17th, and his 65 turned into a 66 and a one-stroke loss to Goalby.
