Harry Hall of England has won his first PGA Tour event on the third extra hole, chipping in to end a five-man play-off in Kentucky.
The 26-year-old Englishman closed with a three-under 69 to get into the play-off with Americans Matt NeSmith, Pierceson Coody, Zac Blair and Rico Hoey. They finished at 22-under 266 on Keene Trace's Champions Course in the event co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour.
Hall scrambled for par on the par-4 18th on the first extra hole, driving well left into long grass, hitting into the front greenside bunker and blasting out to a foot. He stayed alive when NeSmith's eight-foot birdie try slid by to the right.
On the next trip down 18 in the play-off, Hall, NeSmith and Coody all missed birdie putts, with NeSmith the closest at 12-feet.
Hall ended it on the 209-yard, par-3 9th. Hitting first after all three went long into the rough, the 6-foot-4 former UNLV player got his chip from the right side to fall before NeSmith and Coody missed their attempts from behind the hole.
"It's massive," Hall, an expectant father, said on the Golf Channel broadcast.
"Baby's due next week so I can probably afford to take a week off now.
"Think it was a bit dicey there, just my position in the FedExCup, and I probably needed to play every single week. So I'm glad that I might not have to now. Yeah, super happy."
NeSmith and Blair each shot 64, playing in back-to-back groups about two hours in front of the final pairing.
Coody, the leader after each of the first three rounds, closed with a 70. He made a 12-foot birdie putt on 18 to get into the play-off.
Hoey (69) took a one-stroke advantage into the final hole regulation, but made a bogey after his wedge approach bounced over the green and into rocks along the bank of a pond.
