Won the PGA Tour’s Charles Schwab Challenge…his second career victory.
Emiliano Grillo (ARG) has won the Charles Schwab Challenge ($8.7 million) on the United States Professional Golf (PGA) Tour.
Grillo carded six birdies, two bogeys and a double-bogey for a four-under 68 on the final day at Colonial Country Club (par 70, 7,209 yards) in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, on 29 September.
With a final total of eight-under-par 272, Grillo was tied with Adam Shank (USA) for the lead heading into the final round.메이저사이트
After failing to win the first overtime, the pair played a second overtime on the par-3 16th hole.
Grillo’s tee shot was a little wide, but he was fortunate to hit the green’s perimeter and come down the slope to rest 1.4 metres short of the hole.
Shank’s tee shot, on the other hand, missed the green and landed in the rough.
Shank made a late comeback with an exquisite approach shot, but Grillo dropped a birdie putt to take the trophy.
It was a heart-wrenching moment for Grillo, who was two shots off the lead heading into the fourth round.
Grillo, who had a two-stroke lead, made a double bogey on the par-4 18th to fall behind Shank and Harry Hall (England), who had yet to finish.
Shank bogeyed the 18th to force a play-off, while Hall bogeyed to drop into a tie for third with Scotty Scheffler (USA).
Grillo, who came from behind to win the playoff, picked up his second career victory. It was his first win in seven years and seven months since the Price.com Open in October 2015.
After three straight top-10 finishes in rounds one through three, Byung-hoon Ahn dropped four strokes on the day with two birdies and six bogeys to finish in a tie for 21st place at 1-under par 279.
Ahn was in a tie for fourth place at 7-under after the second round and in contention for his first victory on tour, but faltered in the third round (2-over par).
Ahn, who has three runner-up finishes to his credit, has two top-10 finishes this season.
He finished tied for fourth at the Fortinet Championship last September and tied for sixth at the Valero Texas Open earlier this month.
Kim made two birdies and five bogeys to finish in a tie for 29th place with a final total of even par 280. Lee is tied for 57th at five-over par 285.
World No. 1 Schaeffler made his mark on the day with a hole-in-one on the eighth hole (par-3, 199 yards).
