Map function which adds last two numbers of a list

Hi,
  Consider this:

z = {{1,4,5,6},{7,8,9,1},{1,2,4,3}}

I'd like to Map a function onto z which would replace the last two items
with their sum:

{{1,4,11},{7,8,10},{1,2,7}}

I could easily use the Table command to construct this new table, but it
would be nicer if I new how to Map some function on z that would produce
the same result.

Any suggestions.

Thanks, Chris Pike
