Kellar, from Washington, closed the gap on Cowen early in the final round with four-straight birdies to start and got to within two strokes through 15 holes before inclement weather scrapped the final three holes of competition. Ari Timm finished the shortened round at 2-under to jump one spot into solo third place.
