After bizarre double on 72nd hole, emiliano grillo gets first win since 2015 at colonial.

• Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — Emiliano Grillo could only watch as his ball kept floating and rolling back toward the No. 18 tee after his wayward shot into the flowing water of a small concrete drainage canal. That mishit on the 72nd hole at Colonial cost him his two-stroke lead, but he still got his first PGA Tour victory in more than 7 1/2 years.

Grillo curled in a 5-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole, the 186-yard 16th hole where he had taken the solo lead before needing a playoff Sunday. Grillo and Adam Schenk, who both finished at 8-under 272, had two-putt pars from 26 feet at No. 18 to start the playoff.

A 20-foot birdie at No. 16 in regulation had Grillo up by two strokes before his tee shot at No. 18.

“I’ve done it before. I’ve hit the exact same shot to the right of the tree,” he said. “When I saw one of the marshals walk right of the tree, I knew it was going to be a long wait until that ball stopped. ... It stopped for like five, 10 seconds at one moment. I actually thought I got lucky. Then five seconds later, the ball kept moving.”

The ball finally came to rest against a rock in the middle of the flow about 150 yards downstream. Grillo took a penalty stroke with a drop where the ball had entered the canal, and had to set his ball on the concrete. His approach was short of the green, and he two-putted from about 20 feet for double bogey to drop to 8 under.

“One bad swing all day,” he said.

It was the second PGA Tour win for Grillo, the 30-year-old from Argentina whose only other win was at the Frys.com Open in Napa in October 2015. He had four other top-10 finishes this season. He had a closing 2-under 68.

Along with a $1.566 million check, plaid jacket and fully restored 1973 Bronco vehicle, the win at Hogan’s Alley pretty much set Grillo up for all four majors. He now is set for the Masters and PGA Championship next year, and is in line for this year’s U.S. Open and Open Championship after moving from 80th to 42nd in World Golf Ranking.

PGA Tour rookie Harry Hall, in the final group with Schenk, bogeyed the final hole after his drive into the water to miss getting in the playoff. He finished tied for third at 7-under with local favorite Scott Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world who had a hole-in-one at the 189-yard 8th hole during his closing 67.

Schenk, the 31-year-old Indiana native in his 171st PGA Tour event, got his second runner-up finish of the season. He’s still seeking his first victory after a 72 playing in the final group Sunday.

After making his only birdie with an 8-footer at No. 16, Schenk was at the 17th tee when he saw someone down by the flowing water.

“I couldn’t see who it was. I didn’t look too hard. I knew Emiliano was a couple shots ahead,” Schenk said. “I had so much to worry about on 17.”

Schenk made par out of a greenside bunker at No. 17, then another par at No. 18 when his birdie putt that would have won it came up just short.

“If he would have hit it a little bit firmer, it would have gone in,” Grillo said. “The story would have been a little bit different. He would have been sitting here probably an hour earlier, but that’s golf.”

Grillo’s tee shot at No. 16 in the playoff landed on the right side of the green, rolled off the slope and stopped about five feet to the left of the hole. Schenk drove into the rough behind the hole, though had an impressive pitch shot.

Grillo had four birdies and two bogeys on his first seven holes Sunday, but caught up to the lead with a 17-foot birdie at the 435-yard 12th hole. After being part of the lead Saturday he had a double bogey and two bogeys over his last six holes.

Hall, a 25-year-old Englishman, was the solo leader after the first and second round. Tied with Schenk to start the final round, Hall got started with consecutive birdies to drop to 12 under, but those were his only birdies in a closing 73.

Scheffler was the Colonial runner-up last year after losing to Sam Burns on the first playoff hole. When Scheffler’s tee shot at No. 8 took a couple of bounces and rolled into the cup, he was 7 under. But he was even the rest of the way, with a birdie at the 10th and bogey on the par-3 16th.

“I made a few today, but overall I probably lost a few strokes on the greens, which is frustrating,” Scheffler said. “For a weekend where I really struggled with the putter, to give myself still a chance to win was nice.”

It was Scheffler’s second career ace. The first came in his PGA Tour debut as a 17-year-old at the 2014 Byron Nelson in his hometown of Dallas.

Harris English had a hole-in-one at No. 8 on Friday, when the hole was playing at 170 yards. Before that, no one had aced that hole since Jim Furyk in 2011.

English played with Hall in the final group during the third round, but had dropped out of a share of the lead when he bogeyed his final hole Saturday. He had four bogeys over six holes to finish his front nine Sunday, staring with three in a row on Nos. 4-6, on way to shooting 76 to finish tied for 12th.

Emiliano Grillo won his second PGA tour title after he edged out Adam Schenk in a double playoff hole at the Charles Schwab Challenge while English golfer Harry Hall finished tied third in Texas on Sunday.

The Argentine was two strokes clear and looked primed to win at Colonial but the 30-year-old hit a memorable double-bogey on the last hole, providing an opening for Schenk to come back into contention, seeking to win his first PGA Tour title.

Grillo hit his drive into a small stream on the final hole which took the ball back roughly 100 yards back in the direction of the tee box before stopping against a rock.

He decided to take a penalty stroke and landed a two-putt from 20 yards to tie with Schenk at eight under.

Schenk made par on the final hole while English PGA Tour rookie Hall,who held at least a share of the lead after each of the first three rounds, needed a par on the final hole to compete in the playoff.

"I made a double on 18 [Sunday] and honestly I didn't care," Grillo said. "Obviously, I would have liked to get it on the 72nd, but to close with some great swings, great swings there on 18, two great birdies on 16."

Grillo had a busy front nine, making four birdies and two bogeys as he started to claw toward the top. He added birdies at 12 and 16 - the latter on a putt of nearly 20 feet - to hit 10 under before his adventurous double bogey.

Schenk, who went 66-67-67 to start the tournament, posted three bogeys through his first 13 holes and landed his only birdie of the day at the par-three 16th.

Emiliano Grillo Wins First PGA Tour Title In Eight Years After Late Drama

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Emiliano Grillo recovered from a double-bogey at the 72nd hole to overcome Adam Schenk in a playoff at the Charles Schwab Classic and lift his first PGA Tour title in eight years.

The Argentinian appeared set to cruise to a comfortable victory at Colonial Country Club after opening up a two-shot lead with just one hole to play, only to come unstuck when he blocked his drive into a stream that carried his ball back towards the 18th tee.

Following a penalty drop onto a cart path, Grillo racked up a closing double-bogey that allowed Schenk a chance on the final green to snatch an unlikely victory. His effort pulled up short and Grillo eventually got over the line with a birdie two on the second playoff hole for his first PGA Tour win since the 2015 Frys.com Open.

"It been such a ride," Grillo said. "It makes me think of where I'm from, it makes me think of my family. We had a baby 14 months ago and life changed, my perspective changed.

"I made a double on 18 and I didn't care. I would have liked to and get it on the 72nd but to close with some great swings, two great birdies on 16.

"They say the second is harder than the first and it definitely was. I'm on top of the world right now and hopefully I can stay there for another week."

Grillo began the day trailing Schenk and England's Harry Hall by four. Hall, 25, was looking for his maiden PGA Tour title and had held at least a share of the lead at the end of each of the first three rounds.

The Englishman got off to the perfect start on Sunday with back-to-back birdies but wouldn't pick up another shot as he carded a three-over 73 that left him in a tie for third.

He had a putt on 18 for par to join the playoff after finding the water with his tee shot but saw it pull up agonisingly short and left.

Alongside Hall, Scottie Scheffler could well have tasted success in Texas but for a stone-cold putter. The World No. 1 lost shots to the field every day on the greens but found the perfect solution on the par-3 eighth, making a hole-in-one to vault himself into contention.

Another birdie at 10 took him to eight-under but a bogey at 16 meant he had to settle for a T3 finish.

HELLO AND WELCOME

Follow live updates from the final day of the PGA Tour's Charles Schwab Challenge. Colonial Country Club is the glorious setting as England's Harry Hall bids to capture his first win.

Birdie for English

What a start for the American, who birdies the first to join the leaders at -10.

It's another birdie for Homa, who gets to five-under. He's five back with nine to play so needs a fair few more to vault himself into contention.

HALL TAKES SOLO LEAD

What a start for the Englishman, who gets up-and-down for birdie on the par-5 opener to get to -11 and into the solo lead.

CHEERS RING OUT ROUND COLONIAL

Schenk plays a sloppy pitch on the second as a huge cheers goes up from somewhere. To the 8th tee, is it Scheffler? It is!

He makes a magic ace on the 189-yard par-3 to get to -7.

BIRDIES GALORE

The birdies are flying in from everywhere. Fowler gets to -6, as does Rai. Grillo joins Scheffler at -7 but what a move from Hall.

He sinks a 15-footer on the second to get to -12 all of a sudden and move two clear.

Scheffler's ace

Here's how the World No. 1 got to -7...

ACE FOR SCHEFFLER!!It’s the second hole-in-one of Scottie Scheffler’s career @CSChallengeFW 🔥 pic.twitter.com/sRGrlYp717 May 28, 2023

Greens look baked

Colonial is sporting some US Open-esque greens here. They look and sound baked, meaning judging the landing spot is going to be vital.

It's a great feature and should provide some drama throughout the day.

Clumsy from English

English faces a lengthy par putt on the 4th after a clumsy chip shot on the par-3. If he misses, he'll fall three behind Hall.

Par for Hall

If there are any nerves, Hall isn't showing them. He misses the fairway and green at the 3rd but slots a five-footer to save par and consolidate his lead.

Scheffler's putting woes

Perusing Data Golf and once again Scheffler's putting stats stand out. And not in a good way. Of the players to make the cut, he ranks last in strokes gained on the greens. It comes on the back of a similarly useless display on the greens at Oak Hill during the PGA Championship.

The rest of his stats are incredible and are as follows:

Around the green: 7th Approach play: 1st Off the tee: 2nd Tee to green: 1st

Bogey for English

English can't convert his par putt on the 4th and slips to -9. He's now three behind Hall. Plenty of golf left to be played.

Schenk and Hall save par

The final twosome make clutch putts for par on the tricky 4th to hold station in first and second.

Morikawa's bogey hole

Morikawa is in the house at level par and has taken to Twitter to poke fun at his record on the 9th at Colonial across the four days. Highly relatable content.

Anyone want to guess my least favorite hole for the week? 🫠 pic.twitter.com/CTI2XfTtcB May 28, 2023

Great Scott

Scheffler finally gets a putt to drop and it's a monster. He rolls in a 40-footer for birdie on the 10th to move to -8.

English is going the other way and joins Scheffler with a second consecutive bogey at the 5th.

Bogeys galore

Colonial is proving a beast. Hall drops a shot on the 5th to slip to -11, while in the game ahead, English makes another bogey to drop to -7.

Hall two clear again

Schenk's bogey at the 6th restores Hall's two-shot cushion. Elsewhere, Streelman and Lipsky birdie the 9th to get to -6 and within five.

What a shot

Paul Halley II has entered the conversation. He chips in on the 13th from 50 feet for a third consecutive birdie to get to -6.

Hovland has a chance from inside five feet on the 9th upcoming to break free of the group at -6.

The magic continues for the Haley/Scheffler group 🔥Paul Haley II played this one perfectly @CSChallengeFW. pic.twitter.com/KrFwEgWe15 May 28, 2023

Hovland misses

What a chance that was for Viktor. It's a slippery one and he lets his birdie putt slip by on the right side. He remains -6 and five back.

Chink in Hall's armour

The leader three-putts for the first time in 110 holes at the par-3 8th. It drops him to 10-under leaving him just one clear of Schenk and two ahead of Scheffler.

It's hotting up!

Hovland within three

After missing a great birdie chance on the 9th, Hovland makes amends at the very next hole to get to -7 and within three of Hall.

Up ahead, Justin Rose puts the finishing touches on his tournament with a birdie at 18 to finish -3.

Another putt slides by for Scheffler

The World No. 1 misses another opportunity for birdie at the 15th. He's missed just one green today but will need to get some putts to drop in the closing three holes if he wants to challenge for victory.

Final group makes the turn

We're into the back nine on Sunday. Hall has a chance to go two ahead again on the 9th and hits a great putt but watches on in dismay as it dives across the hole and lips out.

Scheffler, Hall out of position

After bigging up Scheffler's ball-striking, he misses the 16th green. His bunker shot is poor and leaves him 12 feet for par.

On the 10th tee, Hall hits a wipey slice into the right rough. Are the nerves starting to show?

Bogey for Scheffler, defending champ signs off

The World No. 1 can't clean up his mess on 16 and drops to -7. He'll likely need two birdies to finish and a prayer if he wants to win.

On 18, defending champion Sam Burns closes with a birdie to get to -5.

Huge par save for Hall

Halls converts from eight feet to salvage a four on the 10th after missing the fairway and green. That was huge and consolidates his one-shot advantage.

He's definitely feeling it, though, and hits another wide off the tee on 11 into the jungle.

Grillo within one

Is Grillo the man to beat? He certainly appears to be playing the best golf. The Argentinian is now just one back of Hall courtesy of a birdie on the 435-yard 12th.

He's safely aboard the par-3 13th, albeit some 40 feet away.

Hovland in the drink

The Norwegian steps up on the 13th and hits a rare wide, blocking his tee shot miles right into the water. He'll do well to salvage a bogey.

Tied at the top

Hall puts himself back in position on the par-5 11th after a poor tee shot only to miss the green with a wedge in hand and then fail to get up-and-down. The bogey takes him back to -9 and into a tie with Grillo.

Hovland salvages bogey

From the drop zone, Viktor stuffs it into about five feet and saves bogey. With Hall dropping a shot at the same time, he remains within three of the lead and well in it.

Huge break for Grillo

Name on trophy? The Argentinian steps up on the 14th and unleashes a monumental block that crashes into the trees and bounces back in the fairway. From there, he arrows his second to 15 feet.

Scottie in the house

Scheffler finally gets a putt to drop. Ironically it's on the last and it's for par. The World No. 1 lost shots to the field on the greens in every round but still posts a seven-under total.

It'll likely be a couple shy of what's needed to win but another solid showing from the game's best player.

Hovland's race run

The Norwegian follows a bogey with a double to drop out of contention at -4. Schenk also suffers a setback with a bogey on 13 to fall two behind.

Three-horse race?

Hall hits a six-iron from 189 yards into the heart of the 14th green. Schenk goes with two clubs less from 25 yards closer and makes it count, sticking it to 18 feet.

Ahead, Grillo finds the par-3 16th green and will have 20 feet for birdie. It's likely between these three for the title.

Grillo hits the front

These greens are like glass. Grillo trickles his birdie putt on 16 and it still goes in at pace. He will care little as he takes a one-shot lead to the 17th tee.

Huge fist pump for @GrilloEmiliano 🔥He takes the solo lead after the birdie on No. 16 @CSChallengeFW. pic.twitter.com/H85XRTEgxC May 28, 2023

Final group on the clock

Hall and Schenk have been given the hurry up. The Englishman is up first from the 15th fairway and hits a shocker with a nine-iron in hand, leaving himself short-sided and facing a devilish up-and-down.

From the trees, Schenk leaves himself handily place in the mouth of the green.

Leaders in trouble

Hall drops another shot.

That birdie-birdie start feels like a lifetime ago for Hall. He's unable to save par on 15 and is back to eight-under, two behind Grillo.

The Argentinian has a tricky eight-footer of his own for par on 17 and buries it.

Hall finds bunker, Grillo in trouble on 18

Hall continues to struggle and finds the front trap on 16, putting another bogey firmly on the cards. In contrast, Schenk hits a beauty to around eight feet for his first birdie of the day.

On 18, the leader blocks his tee shot miles right. It remains to be seen where his ball ended up.

Grillo's ball is still moving

Incredibly, the leader's ball is in an aqueduct and is slowly moving down a stream. Never seen anything like it. An interesting ruling coming up.

Schenk birdies, Hall saves par

Schenk sinks his birdie putt to get to -8 and right back into it while Hall makes a superb sand save to stay at the same mark.

Grillo drops on a cart path

The leader takes a free drop on a cart path and will be playing his third from a seriously tricky spot. It looks like he's got to hit his ball below a tree limb off an upslope with water left of the green.

He does pretty well, leaving himself on the fairway, 40 yards to the hole.

Final group save par on 17

From the fairway, Schenk gets greedy and hits his second into the front trap guarding the hole. Hall does the opposite, leaving himself more than 30 feet for birdie.

Schenk hits a phenomenal bunker shot to save par and Hall follows suit, holing from seven feet after racing his birdie putt well past the hole.

Drama at 18

Can you believe it? Grillo hits his pitch to about 15 feet and can't make the bogey putt, meaning he drops two shots back to -8 and into a three-way tie at the top with Schenk and Hall.

A wet and wild finish for Emiliano Grillo on 18. Double bogey to drop into a tie for the lead. pic.twitter.com/oygu04Wa26 May 28, 2023

Disaster for Hall on 18

It's Hall's turn to come unstuck on the 72nd hole. The Englishman pulls his tee shot well left and it runs into the water. He looks distraught.

He still has a chance if he can make par but that front-left hole location on these baked greens has been extremely difficult to get close to.

Schenk, on the other hand, has piped one down the middle.

And while all this is going on, Grillo has invited a young boy to come hit some balls with him. What a sport.

Schenk has a putt to win

Schenk is up first from 121 yards and hits a cracker into 15 feet - he'll have that to pull off a win that looked seriously unlikely an hour ago.

Hall will be up first for par from 23 feet and it's a must make.

We're going to a playoff

Hall's putt pulls up agonisingly short and left, with the bogey dropping him back to -7 and into a tie for third with Scheffler. The Englishman has led since an opening 62 but struggled on Sunday after making a strong start. An experience he'll undoubtedly be better for but one that will be tough to take for a while.

Schenk is next for the win and his putt also stops a couple of rolls shy, meaning we're heading to a playoff at Colonial.

Really cool moment

What a moment ❤️In the midst of preparing for a playoff, @GrilloEmiliano invited two young fans to hit some shots @CSChallengeFW. pic.twitter.com/naBLusQyyj May 28, 2023

Hall: 'I'll learn from it'

"I haven't thought about it too much yet. Winning on the PGA Tour was closer than I thought it would be. You don't need great golf on a hard course coming down the stretch to get it done and I just missed a couple putts inside five feet that I wouldn't normally do.

"I'll learn from it."

Playoff begins

Grillo is up first on 18 and opts for a wood this time instead of driver. He blocks it again but gets a brilliant bounce back into the fairway.

Schenk is up next with the driver and he stripes it down the middle.

Both players find the green

Up first from 157 yards, Grillo sticks his approach to 27 feet. Schenk from 15 yards closer can't do much better so both are facing lengthy birdie putts.

Grillo hits a great putt that just slides by on the left side, leaving a tap-in for par. Schenk has another putt to win and his goes just as close, missing by a whisker on the high side.

He taps in for par so we're off to the par-3 16th.

What a bounce

Grillo gets another mega bounce on the par-3. His ball looked destined for the bunker but took a huge hop left and rode the slope done to about five feet.

Schenk smashes his tee shot in reply well through the green.

Advantage Grillo!

Superb from Schenk

The American plays an exquisite bump-and-run through the rough, judging the speed to perfection to get it to about three feet.

Grillo still has a great chance to win but at least he's being made to work for it.

Grillo is the champion

The Argentinian makes no mistake, pouring his putt into the middle for a first title in eight years after a hugely dramatic finish.

2023 Charles Schwab Challenge leaderboard, grades: Emiliano Grillo survives playoff for second PGA Tour win

A double-bogey from grillo on the 72nd hole caused a bit of drama late at colonial cc.

It wasn't pretty, but it was perhaps never going to be with the world No. 1 coming up fast behind. Nevertheless, Emiliano Grillo won his second PGA Tour event (and first in eight years) on Sundy at the Charles Schwab Challenge by shooting a final round of 68 to finish at 8 under and beating in Adam Schenk in a two-hole playoff by making birdie at the par-3 16th.

Grillo got off to a very Grillo-like start in Round 4 by going birdie-bogey-birdie-bogey to start before settling down and making four birdies the rest of the way to shoot that 66.

With Scottie Scheffler charging with a 67, including an ace on the front nine to get him to 7 under for the tournament (where he would finish), and with the rest of the top of the leaderboard fading coming home, Grillo filled the gap and filled up the cup with an unusually hot putter. He made putts of 12 feet, 17 feet, a 19-footer on the par-3 16th, and an 8-footer on the 17th. All monstrous putts given what was at stake.

At the 72nd hole, he needed every last one of them. The only thing Grillo couldn't do at the last in regulation was make a double. What did he do? He hit a ball off the planet that landed in a man-made creek and nearly floated away. With a two-stroke lead, he had to drop on a concrete path and ended up making double. At the time it seemed like a devastating ending to what was a terrific round.

However, Grillo regrouped for the playoff, even asking a few kids if they wanted to hit balls with him as he warmed up, and made a sweet birdie on the second hole.

"It's been such a ride," he told CBS Sports. "Makes me think about where I come from and my family. We had a baby 14 months ago. Life changed, perspective changed. Today I made a double on 18. Honestly, I didn't care. I would have liked to get it on the 72nd. They say the second is harder than the first. It definitely was. I'm on top of the world right now. Hopefully I can stay there another week."

Was this victory — easily the greatest of Grillo's career — a surprise? Sure. The Charles Schwab field was a strong one — Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, Viktor Hovland and Tony Finau all joined Scheffler in the field the week after the PGA Championship — and Grillo is not an elite player.

On the other hand, Grillo has been popping of late. He finished T7 at the RBC Heritage a month ago and T5 at the Mexico Open two weeks after that. That's sort of what he does, though. In his PGA Tour career he had 28 top 10s in 205 starts coming into this week. That's to be expected from a tremendous ball-striker like Grillo, who has always struggled with his short game. This week at Colonial, though? Grillo finished second in the field in strokes-gained putting, and that was highlighted not necessarily by the bomb at No. 16 but by a par save on No. 17 from 8 feet.

Call it a victory for the folks who disregard putting altogether, call it a victory for elite iron players (Grillo is one of the best), call it whatever you want, but don't forget to call it a win for Grillo, who hasn't had a lot of them throughout his career.

Despite six runner-up finishes in his career, Grillo had just one victory before this week — a 2015 Frys.com Open playoff triumph over Kevin Na in a playoff. He had, in many ways, become somebody whose name was easy to skip over when he was at the top of the leaderboard. Grade: A+

T3. Scottie Scheffler (-7): The No. 1 player in the world had an exciting Sunday with an ace on the 189-yard par-3 8th hole, but Scheffler continues to face two problems. The first is that he seems to face one round that takes him out of the tournament (this happened at both the Masters and the PGA Championship). The second is that he cannot make a putt. On the week, he made just five putts longer than 8 feet and finished 70th in putting on the week. To put this in perspective, Scheffler gained 15 strokes from tee to green while Schenk and Grillo gained just 11.5 overall. 

This is more or less how Scheffler's entire year has gone. He's now had eight tournaments in which he was a field average (or worse) putter, and his worst (worst!) finish in those tournaments is T11. Truly a ball-striking heater for the ages. He said afterwards, "The hole looks small. That's pretty much it."  Grade: A-

T6. Rickie Fowler (-5): A good rebound from last week when Fowler missed the cut at the PGA Championship. This week's finish is his seventh top 20 in his last eight starts and underscores this middle ground he's been walking between playing poorly (he's not) and contending to win golf tournaments (which he's also not doing). The question for me this summer is whether he can make the leap from "playing solidly at almost every PGA Tour event" to "winning again for the first time in four years." He's so close to that happening — closer than he's been in a long time -- but it's a leap that most never make once in their careers much less multiple times like Fowler is trying to do. Fowler: B+

T29 Collin Morikawa (E): It was a so-so week for Morikawa, who has had a lot of so-so weeks this year. After nearly winning multiple times in January, the two-time major champion has just two top 10s in the last four months. His problem this week? First, he putted it horribly (which is not that out of the ordinary), and second, he played the 384-yard par-4 9th hole in 7 over. That's right, in four rips at the 9th, Morikawa made two bogeys, a double and a triple. He played a golf hole that was supposed to take 16 strokes in 23 for the week. The good news? He played the other 68 holes in 7 under. Grade: C+

Playoff time at Colonial

Adam Schenk pars the last, which means he and Grillo are headed to a playoff at 8 under. Hall made bogey so he drops back into a tie for third with Scottie Scheffler.

Grillo makes 6 at the last

Wow, incredible stuff here. Grillo doubles the last to fall into a tie for first with Hall and Schenk, who are on the 18th tee box right now. Scheffler (-7) is one back of everybody, but he officially cannot win as Grillo is in the house at 8 under.

Grillo falls apart

After blowing driver off the planet into a man-made creek on the 18th, Emilano Grillo had to drop on a concrete path where the ball first entered the creek and now has a long putt for bogey. Remember, he's two up on Harry Hall and Adam Schenk, who are walking to the 18th tee box, but it looks as if he's about to be tied with them.

Grillo takes control

Emiliano Grillo takes control of the golf tournament with a 19-foot birdie putt on the 16th and an 8-foot par putt on the 17th. He takes a two-stroke lead to the last, and though he's in a spot of bother off the tee, he probably only needs bogey for a playoff.

Emiliano Grillo survives wild 72nd hole for Charles Schwab Challenge title

Emiliano Grillo's third shot on the 18th hole Sunday.

Emiliano Grillo was nearly flawless on Sunday, but all it took was a one-inch deep stream to wash away his tournament hopes.

And then just one (or three) good bounces to get them back.

The 30-year-old started the day four back of the lead, made six birdies and took control of the tournament with a birdie on 16 that gave him a two-shot lead at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

But then his ball went in the water off the 18th tee … and it kept getting farther from the hole.

Grillo, searching for his second PGA Tour win, eight years after his first, blocked his tee shot right and found a shallow aqueduct that runs between Colonial Country Club’s 17th and 18th holes. The ball kept trickling and trickling back toward the tee.

“I knew, as soon as I saw the ball going right, I was like this is going to be a very long hole,” Grillo said afterward. “I’ve been through that pain of watching the ball just roll 120 yards back.”

After taking several minutes to wait for the ball to stop in the creek, PGA Tour rules officials told him he would have to drop back at his point of entry. That ended up being on a cart path and he eventually made a six, dropping him from a two-shot lead into a three-way tie at eight under after a 68.

After Harry Hall also drove it in the water on 18 — the only two such shots on the hole all week — Adam Schenk was the only other player to get to the clubhouse at eight under and tie Grillo.

But as the Argentine veteran waited for the playoff, he did something different. Instead of going to watch the finish in the clubhouse or keeping his mind focused by heading to the practice facility, he went to the first tee. He could practice there as the course is set to close after the tournament for a renovation.

And then he invited two young boys inside the ropes to hit balls with his golf clubs from the tee. Clearly, the distraction worked , or at least gave him better karma.

In the playoff, he pushed his tee shot, this time a 3-wood instead of driver, right again. Only this time, it kicked dead left and back into the fairway.

His approach? It also looked right but kicked left again off the firm turf, almost to the same distance as Schenk’s second would eventually settle.

After both made pars, they went to the par-3 16th, the same hole where Grillo seemed to make his decisive birdie an hour earlier.

This time, his approach looked right. See where this is going? (Should we also tell you his drive on 14 was blocked right and kicked back into the center of the fairway?)

It took another hard bounce back left and stopped just inside five feet away.

“Yeah, the shot wasn’t that great,” Grillo said. “Obviously it was a bit right of where I wanted. I took the entire slope and got close.”

Schenk was over the green and did well to give himself a good look at par.

But Grillo drained the putt, earning his second PGA Tour title 2,779 days after his first, which came in the first event of his rookie season at the 2015 Frys.com Open .

“[The win] made everything worth it,” he said. “The playing, all the hours practicing, the effort from my family. It makes you think when you started playing all the emotions come through your head. It’s been tough, but it’s worth every second. People ask me if I would have done something different, obviously looking back, I wouldn’t. This is just worth it.”

Schenk meanwhile earned his second runner-up this season after also coming close at the Valspar Championship.

He and Hall started the day in the lead at 10-under, but Colonial played the meanest it had all week. The greens were pushed to the brink of firmness with the impending renovation meaning these would be the last rounds at the club until next year’s tournament. Colonial was more than half-stroke harder Sunday than any other round.

Grillo can probably thank those conditions for his bounces.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was also in the mix after he shot 67 in the final round to post 7 under well before the leaders reached the final holes. However, a balky putter again kept him from the winner’s circle.

Grillo wins Colonial in a playoff, Stricker wins 2nd senior major at PGA

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Emiliano Grillo atoned for a double bogey on the final hole by making a 5-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to beat Adam Schenk in the Charles Schwab Cup Challenge for the Argentine's first PGA Tour title in 7 1/2 years.

Grillo looked like a winner when he had a two-shot lead on the 18th at Colonial. But his tee shot wound up well right into a culvert, and it tumbled down shallow water some 150 yards. He took a penalty drop, hit a poor chip and made double bogey for a 68.

Schenk missed a 20-foot birdie putt in regulation for the win. He shot 72. Harry Hall did get that chance. He drove left into the water on the 18th, made bogey for a 73 and missed the playoff by one shot, along with Scottie Scheffler (67).

Scheffler had a hole-in-one on the par-3 eighth.

Grillo's only other win was the Frys.com Open in Napa, California, in October 2015. The victory moves him to No. 42 in the world, getting him in the Masters by winning and securing a spot in the U.S. Open, which takes the top 60 in the world in two weeks.

Schenk, the 31-year-old from Indiana, was runner-up for the second time this season.

PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Steve Stricker beat Padraig Harrington on the first hole of a playoff in the Senior PGA Championship on Sunday for his second senior major in as many played this year.

Stricker closed with a 3-under 69. Harrington shot 70, with a birdie on the par-5 18th that forced a playoff between the last two Ryder Cup captains.

On the 18th in the playoff, Harrington hit his drive in deep grass right of the fairway. After a failed attempt to get it out, he took a drop and hit fairway metal to 15 feet. Harrington couldn’t make the par putt to extend the playoff.

Stricker's victory, which comes after a win at the Regions Tradition, gets him into the PGA Championship next year at Valhalla. He now has six majors among his 14 wins on the PGA Tour Champions.

Stewart Cink finished birdie-eagle for a 69 to finish two shots behind in his senior debut.

It was the first big event held at Fields Ranch East at the new headquarters of the PGA of America. The venue in Frisco, about 35 miles north of Dallas, is set to host the PGA Championship in 2027 and 2034.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) — Pajaree Anannarukarn of Thailand capped off the longest week on the LPGA Tour with a 3-and-1 victory Sunday to win the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play over Ayaka Furue of Japan.

Anannarukarn, who beat Linn Grant of Sweden in the semifinals Sunday morning at Shadow Creek, took the lead for good with a birdie on the par-5 seventh hole.

Furue simply couldn’t catch up, and finished runner-up for the second straight year.

The match ended on the par-3 17th when Anannarukarn drilled her tee shot to a right pin about 6 feet to the right of the hole and Furue found a back bunker. Furue’s bunker shot hit the left side of the hole — had it hit the pin it might have dropped — and rolled out some 12 feet. She conceded the match.

Anannarukarn won for the second time on the LPGA Tour. Her other title was the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland in 2021. She made eight birdies against Grant in the semifinals, superb golf considering the the fast, firm conditions of Shadow Creek.

Furue won all six of her matches until the last one. She beat Leona Maguire of Ireland in the semifinals.

STERLING, Va. (AP) — Harold Varner III won his first LIV Golf event Sunday when he two-putted from about 35 feet for birdie on the par-5 18th hole at Trump National in LIV Golf-DC.

Varner won by one shot over Branden Grace of South Africa, who moments earlier holed about a 20-foot birdie putt on the tough par-4 second hole, his last of the shotgun start. Grace closed with a 66.

Mito Pereira, the 36-hole leader, shot 71 and finished third.

Varner won for the first time on American soil. He never won on the PGA Tour before signing on with the Saudi-funded league. His previous two professional wins were the Australian PGA Championship and the Saudi International.

Brooks Koepka shot 70 and tied for 12th in his first start since winning the PGA Championship at Oak Hill last week for his fifth major.

Torque won the team competition.

EUROPEAN TOUR

CROMVOIRT, Netherlands (AP) — Pablo Larrazabal birdied his last two holes for a 3-under 69 and a two-shot victory in the KLM Open, his second European tour title in four weeks.

Larrazabal overcame a double bogey on the second hole at Bernardus Golf, which created a wide open final round in which seven players had at least a share of the lead at some point.

The 40-year-old from Spain pulled ahead with a birdie on the par-3 17th, and then made a final birdie from 20 feet to win by two over Adrian Otaegui of Spain, who shot 70.

Larrazabal, who won Korea Championship last month, has four wins over the past 15 months.

Rasmus Hojgaard (71) and Deon Germishuys (69) tied for third.

KORN FERRY TOUR

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Rico Hoey got up-and-down from a bunker on the par-5 18th for a birdie and a 6-under 64, giving him a one-shot victory in the Visit Knoxville Open on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Hoey's victory moves him to No. 2 in the points list. The leading 30 players earn PGA Tour cards for 2024.

Hoey finished at 14-under 266, one shot ahead of Chase Seiffert (65) and Norman Xiong (69).

Seiffert birdied three straight holes to give himself a chance, only to miss the fairway on the 18th. He had to lay up and failed to convert a birdie. Xiong had a 54-hole lead, but he made only one birdie and 17 pars in the final round.

Emiliano Grillo ends nearly 8-year winless drought in playoff win at 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge

Seven years, seven months and 10 days.

That’s how long Emiliano Grillo waited to secure his second PGA Tour victory.

“They say the second is harder than the first and it definitely was,” Grillo said.

The 30-year-old Argentine overcame a double bogey at the 72 nd hole to shoot 2-under 68 at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, on Sunday and defeat Adam Schenk in a two-hole playoff at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Grillo’s 9-iron at the second playoff hole headed right but landed on the fringe, just to the left of a greenside bunker and kicked on the green, stopping 5 feet from the hole and he took advantage of his fortuitous bounce by sinking the winning putt.

Grillo erased a four-stroke deficit entering the final round, carding six birdies in regulation and pumping his fist as his last of the bunch, a 20-foot birdie putt at 16 during regulation, dropped in to take the lead. But there would still be plenty of drama to come.

Grillo, who left Argentina at age 16 to study and hone his golf skills at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, notched his first win in near record time. After triumphing at the 2015 Korn Ferry Tour Championship in October, Grillo was victorious in his next start, two weeks later, at the PGA Tour’s season-opening Frys.com Open, to become the sixth player from Argentina to win on the PGA Tour and the first player to win in his first start as an official Tour member since Russell Henley at the 2013 Sony Open in Hawaii. But that turned out to be the last trip to the winner’s circle for Grillo until he slipped into the traditional tartan-plaid jacket awarded to the Charles Schwab Challenge winner.

Grillo made four birdies on the front nine – all from inside 10 feet – and then his putter, which has been the biggest weakness in his game, warmed up. Grillo entered the week ranked No. 134 in Strokes Gained: Putting, but he ranked second this week in that category. He canned a 17-foot birdie putt at 12 and the 20-footer at 16.

But winning is never easy and Grillo squandered a two-stroke lead coming home. His tee shot at 18 headed wide right of the target and he had to take a penalty stroke when his ball landed in an aqueduct. The strength of the stream sent it some 50 yards back towards the tee, but he was allowed to drop where it originally entered the water and chose to place it on the cart path. The damage was done as he slipped back into a tie, signing for a 72-hole total of 8-under 272.

Harry Hall, a 25-year-old rookie, had led since opening with a tournament-best 8-under 62, and built an early three-stroke lead at 12 under with birdies at his first two holes. But he didn’t make another birdie and his fifth bogey of the day, this one at the last after he drove left into the water, knocked him out of the playoff. He closed with a final-round 73 and T-3 finish, which marked his best result to date. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler aced the eighth hole, shot 67 but finished tied with Hall, a stroke shy of the playoff.

Schenk, 31, who grew up in Vincennes, Indiana, on a 1,500-acre sod and grain farm, didn’t make a birdie until the 16 th hole of his final round and signed for 2-over 72, but it was enough to join Grillo in a playoff in search of his first Tour title. Schenk had birdie putts to win at 18 in regulation and the playoff but couldn’t get either of them to drop.

“He deserved to win, in my opinion, just because he doubled the last hole. How many times out of a hundred is he going to do that? One maybe? Two? That would have left a pretty sour taste in his mouth to do that and lose,” Schenk said. “Then for him to hit the shot on 16, he probably deserved it a little more than I did.”

Schenk’s tee shot at the par-3 16 th flew the green and he made a brilliant chip to 3 feet, but Grillo grabbed hold of victory by sinking the winning putt.

“It made everything worth it. The playing, all the hours practicing, the effort from my family. It makes you think when you started playing all the emotions come through your head,” Grillo said. “It’s been tough, but it’s worth every second.”

Emiliano Grillo wins at Colonial edging Adam Schenk on second playoff hole

Emiliano Grillo made a 5-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole at Colonial in Fort Worth to get his first PGA Tour victory in more than 7½ years, after blowing a two-stroke lead with a double-bogey on the 72nd hole Sunday.

Grillo curled in the winning putt at the 186-yard 16th hole, the same hole where he had taken the solo lead before needing a playoff. Grillo and Adam Schenk, who both finished at 8-under 272, had two-putt pars from 26 feet at No. 18 to start the playoff.

It was the second PGA Tour win for Grillo, the 30-year-old from Argentina whose only other win was at the Frys.com Open in Napa in October 2015. He had four other top-10 finishes this season. He had a closing 68.

Schenk, the 31-year-old Indiana native in his 171st PGA Tour event, got his second runner-up finish of the season. He’s still seeking his first victory after a 72 playing in the final group Sunday.

At No. 16 in regulation, Grillo took the solo lead with a 20-foot birdie. His lead was two shots going to No. 18 before a wayward tee shot to the right. His ball went into a small concrete drainage canal, then floated 150 yards or so back toward the tee box before coming to rest against a rock in the middle of the water flow.

After taking a penalty stroke with a drop, and having to set his ball on the concrete near where the ball entered the canal, his approach was short of the green. He then two-putted from nearly 20 feet for double bogey to drop to 8 under.

While all that was playing out at No. 18, and Grillo waited to see what was going to happen to his ball, Schenk made an 8-foot birdie putt at No. 16. It was his only birdie of the round, getting him to 8 under before Grillo had even finished at 18.

Schenk made a par at No. 17 out of a greenside bunker before a closing par at No. 18.

PGA Tour rookie Harry Hall, in the final group with Schenk, bogeyed the final hole after his drive went into the water to miss getting in the playoff. He finished tied for third at 7-under with local favorite Scott Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world who had a hole-in-one at the 189-yard 8th hole during his closing 67.

LIV — Harold Varner III won his first LIV Golf event when he two-putted from about 35 feet for birdie on the par-5 18th hole at Trump National in LIV Golf-DC.

Varner won by one shot over Branden Grace of South Africa, who moments earlier holed about a 20-foot birdie putt on the tough par-4 second hole, his last of the shotgun start. Grace closed with a 66.

Mito Pereira, the 36-hole leader, shot 71 and finished third.

Varner won for the first time on American soil. He never won on the PGA Tour before signing on with the Saudi-funded league. His previous two professional wins were the Australian PGA Championship and the Saudi International.

Brooks Koepka shot 70 and tied for 12th in his first start since winning the PGA Championship at Oak Hill last week for his fifth major.

Torque won the team competition.

LPGA — Pajaree Anannarukarn of Thailand capped off the longest week on the LPGA Tour with a 3-and-1 victory to win the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play over Ayaka Furue of Japan.

Anannarukarn, who beat Linn Grant of Sweden in the semifinals Sunday morning at Shadow Creek, took the lead for good with a birdie on the par-5 seventh hole.

Furue simply couldn’t catch up, and finished runner-up for the second straight year.

The match ended on the par-3 17th when Anannarukarn drilled her tee shot to a right pin about 6 feet to the right of the hole and Furue found a back bunker. Furue’s bunker shot hit the left side of the hole — had it hit the pin it might have dropped — and rolled out some 12 feet. She conceded the match.

Anannarukarn won for the second time on the LPGA Tour. Her other title was the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland in 2021. She made eight birdies against Grant in the semifinals, superb golf considering the the fast, firm conditions of Shadow Creek.

Furue won all six of her matches until the last one. She beat Leona Maguire of Ireland in the semifinals.

Champions — Steve Stricker beat Padraig Harrington on the first hole of a playoff in the Senior PGA Championship in Frisco, Texas, giving Stricker a sweep of the first two senior majors of the season.

Harrington forced the playoff with a short birdie putt on the par-5 18th, but put his drive in the replay of the hole in deep grass on the right side of the fairway.

After a failed attempt to hack the ball out, the 51-year-old Irishman dropped 285 yards away and put a fairway wood within 15 feet . Stricker missed a second consecutive putt to win on 18, but Harrington couldn’t make the par putt to extend the playoff.

Stricker and Harrington, who was trying to become the first wire-to-wire winner of the Senior PGA since Rocco Mediate in 2016, finished 18 under. Stricker shot 3-under 69 and Harrington 70.

European — Spanish golfer Pablo Larrazabal won the KLM Open by two strokes to claim his ninth title on the European tour and a second in the space of four weeks. The 40-year-old Larrazabal started the final round with a one-stroke lead and shot 3-under 69 at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, Netherlands.

Charles Schwab Challenge

Emiliano Grillo nearly blew a PGA Tour win. What he did next then to make these kids’ day was truly special

A million different thoughts had to be racing through the mind of Emiliano Grillo as he waited to see if his blunder on the 18th hole at the Charles Schwab Challenge would cost him a shot at ending a nearly eight-year victory drought on the PGA Tour. Making a couple young kids’ days likely wasn’t among them. And yet that’s what the 30-year-old from Argentina did, perhaps creating good karma for his eventual victory in a playoff .

Recall just what happened moments earlier. With a two-shot lead after an impressive final round at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Grillo lost his drive on the home hole, hitting his ball into a aqueduct right of the fairway. From there he made double-bogey 6 to finish at eight under for the tournament. And that where Adam Schenk or Harry Hall both sat on the leaderboard playing the 18th hole as well.

More From Golf Digest

So it was that Grillo needed to stay loose in the event of a possible playoff. And to do it, he enlisted the hello of a couple young spectators, Peyton and Sutton, as he was taking a few practice swings on the first tee.

Remember, Grillo had just seen a remarkable final round—which included six birdies to erase an opening four-shot deficit—seemingly go for naught by his poor play on the 18th. He could have been running pretty hot, anxious to see if Schenk or Hall would make birdie and ruin Grillo’s comeback. But to take a few minutes to relax and give these kids a thrill of a lifetime, well, it says something about how he was handling the moment.

“It was a little bit of a trick to get my head out of the situation,” Grillo said afterward. “There’s two kids right next to the first tee, and I’m like, ‘Hey, you guys want to hit balls?’ They’re 7, 8 years old or however old they are. Jose Coceres (a former two-time PGA Tour winner from Argentina) did it with me when I was 7, 8 years old, and that was the greatest experience of all, just watching him and hitting his clubs. I kind of got to do it with them, and hopefully they’ll remember that.”

When Schenk then made par to force a playoff (Hall bogeyed to miss out), Grillo was not tense or frustrated. And it showed on the second playoff hole when he hit his tee shot on the par-3 16th to 4 feet, 8 inches, setting up his eventual winning birdie. Yes, he got a friendly kick, but could it have been because of his own friendly act?

Golfer overcomes brutal break to win Charles Schwab Challenge

It is Grillo's first victory on the PGA Tour in over seven years.

Sunday’s final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge saw Argentinian golfer Emiliano Grillo almost choke away a two-stroke lead after a rough bounce on the 18th hole found him in the water. He miraculously made up for this once it went to a playoff to come away with just his second victory on the PGA Tour.

Grillo went to the 18th hole leading the tournament by two strokes. The two golfers trailing behind him had only a few holes left with scoring conditions playing very tough. All Grillo had to do was not make worse than a bogey. Unfortunately, he would make a mess of the final hole.

He hit an errant tee shot way out to the right on the Par-4 18th, which caught a really rough break by finding a small water stream. This would result in nearly a five-minute break as the ball went down the stream.

He had to take a penalty stroke and play off the cart path for his third shot, which he left short of the green. Grillo then pitched onto the green and two-putted, making a double-bogey.

Both Adam Schenk and Harry Hall had a chance to take control of the tournament. It would be Schenk who would par the final two holes to force a playoff.

The playoff would go to a second hole on the 16th after both made par on the first playoff hole. Grillo then hit his best shot of the day, narrowly avoiding the bunker on his second shot to put it within a couple of feet for birdie.

Schenk would find himself in trouble on the hole, which allowed Grillo to bury a birdie putt to bring home his first PGA Tour victory in over seven years.

Many around the golf world praised him for his ability to overcome adversity to come away with the win.

Golf roundup: Emiliano Grillo wins PGA Tour event in playoff after late stumble

May 28, 2023 at 6:00 p.m.

by The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas — Emiliano Grillo could only watch as his golf ball kept floating and rolling back toward the No. 18 tee after his wayward shot into the flowing water of a small concrete drainage canal.

The poorly hit shot on the 72nd hole at Colonial Country Club cost him his two-stroke lead in the Charles Schwab Challenge, but he still got his first PGA Tour victory in more than 7 1/2 years.

Grillo curled in a five-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole, the 186-yard 16th where he had taken the solo lead before needing a playoff Sunday. Grillo and Adam Schenk, who both finished 72 holes of regulation at 8-under-par 272, had two-putt pars from 26 feet at No. 18 to start the playoff.

A 20-foot birdie at No. 16 in regulation had Grillo up by two strokes before his tee shot at No. 18.

"I've done it before. I've hit the exact same shot to the right of the tree," he said. "When I saw one of the marshals walk right of the tree, I knew it was going to be a long wait until that ball stopped. ... It stopped for like five, 10 seconds at one moment. I actually thought I got lucky. Then five seconds later, the ball kept moving."

The ball finally came to rest against a rock in the middle of the flow about 150 yards downstream. Grillo took a penalty stroke with a drop where the ball had entered the canal, then had to set his ball on the concrete. His approach was short of the green, and he two-putted from about 20 feet for a double bogey to drop to 8 under.

"One bad swing all day," said Grillo, who closed with a 2-under 68.

It was the second PGA Tour win for Grillo, the 30-year-old from Argentina whose other win was at the Frys.com Open in October 2015. He had four other top-10 finishes this season.

Along with a $1.566 million check, plaid jacket and fully restored 1973 Ford Bronco, the win at Hogan's Alley pretty much set Grillo up for all four majors. He now is set for the Masters and PGA Championship next year, and he is in line for this year's U.S. Open and British Open after moving from 80th to 42nd in the Official World Golf Ranking.

PGA Tour rookie Harry Hall, in the final group with Schenk, made a bogey on the final hole after his drive into the water to miss getting in the playoff. He shot a 73 and tied for third at 7 under with local favorite Scott Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world who had a hole-in-one at the 189-yard 8th hole during his closing 67.

Schenk, the 31-year-old Indiana native in his 171st PGA Tour event, got his second runner-up finish of the season. He's still seeking his first victory after a 72 playing in the final group Sunday.

Paul Haley II shot a 67 to finish fifth at 6-under 274.

Harris English, who was a stroke behind Hall and Schenk after the third round, shot a 76 and tied for 12th at 3 under. He had the best finish among three Baylor School graduates in the field, with Luke List (74) sharing 57th at 5 over and Stephan Jaeger (76) another stroke back and tied for 68th.

Scheffler was the runner-up at Colonial last year after losing to Sam Burns on the first playoff hole. When Scheffler's tee shot at No. 8 took a couple of bounces and rolled into the cup Sunday, he was at 7 under. But he was even the rest of the way, with a birdie at the 10th and a bogey on the par-3 16th.

It was Scheffler's second career ace. The first came in his PGA Tour debut as a 17-year-old at the 2014 Byron Nelson in his hometown of Dallas.

English had a hole-in-one at No. 8 on Friday, when the hole was playing at 170 yards. Before that, no one had aced that hole since Jim Furyk in 2011.

Stricker wins duel

FRISCO, Texas — Steve Stricker beat Padraig Harrington on the first hole of a playoff in the Senior PGA Championship, giving the 56-year-old from Wisconsin a sweep of the first two senior majors of the season.

Harrington, a 51-year-old Irishman, forced the playoff with a short birdie putt on the par-5 18th, but he put his drive in the replay of the hole in deep grass on the right side of the fairway.

After a failed attempt to hack the ball out, Harrington dropped to what he said was about 270 yards away and put a fairway wood within 15 feet. Stricker missed a second consecutive putt to win on 18, but Harrington couldn't make the par putt to extend the playoff.

Stricker's sixth senior major title came two weeks after he won the Regions Tradition for the second consecutive year. All five of Stricker's previous senior major wins were by six shots, but this time he came from behind, erasing a five-shot deficit in the final nine holes of the third round.

"This means a lot," Stricker said. "I spent a lot of time with the PGA of America during the Ryder Cup. To play in another PGA next year I think will be a lot of fun, too."

Stricker and Harrington, who was trying to become the first wire-to-wire winner of the Senior PGA since Rocco Mediate in 2016, finished 72 holes at 18-under 260. Stricker closed with a 3-under 69 and Harrington had a 70.

Stewart Cink, playing with Harrington and Stricker but never threatening to crash their two-man battle, made a 60-footer for his second birdie at No. 17 and eagled the par-5 18th to finish two shots back. A week after turning 50, Cink finished his debut on the senior circuit with a 69.

Y.E. Yang was alone in fourth at 11 under after a 70, while 2022 Senior PGA winner Steven Alker (71) shared fifth with Miguel Angel Jimenez (70) and Darren Clarke (72) at 9 under.

Varner's first on LIV

STERLING, Va. — Harold Varner III secured his first LIV Golf League victory when he two-putted from about 35 feet for a birdie on the par-5 18th hole at Trump National Golf Club Washington D.C.

The 32-year-old American closed with a 4-under 68 and finished the 54-hole event at 12-under 204. He won by a shot over South Africa's Branden Grace, who holed a 20-foot birdie putt on the tough par-4 second hole — his last of the shotgun start — for a 66 just moments before Varner wrapped up his round.

Chile's Mito Pereira, the 36-hole leader, shot a 71 and finished third.

Varner won for the first time on American soil. He never won on the PGA Tour, where he had played since the 2015-16 season before signing on with LIV last year. His previous two professional wins were the Australian PGA Championship and the Saudi International.

"I'm getting better at golf," he said. "That's always been my goal. I think big things are coming."

Varner started the final round one shot behind Pereira, but the Chilean bogeyed his first two holes. Varner holed a bunker shot for birdie at the 11th, and he made a 12-foot birdie putt on the 15th that gave him a two-shot lead. Grace birdied two of his final three holes.

A week after winning the PGA Championship for his fifth major title, Brooks Koepka tied for 12th in the 48-man field after shooting a 70 to finish at 5 under.

Late birdies are big

CROMVOIRT, Netherlands — Pablo Larrazabal won the KLM Open by two strokes, earning his ninth career win on the DP World Tour and his second in a four-week span on the Europe-based circuit.

The 40-year-old Larrazabal started the final round at Bernardus with a one-stroke lead and closed with a 3-under 69 to finish at 13-under 275.

Fellow Spaniard Adrian Otaegui was second after a 70, with third place shared by Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard (71) and South Africa's Deon Germishuys (69).

Larrazabal punched the air repeatedly and beat his chest after rolling in a putt from 21 feet on the 18th for a third birdie in his final four holes. His round began badly after making a double-bogey 6 at No. 2 when his tee shot found the water, but he recovered with back-to-back birdies on the sixth and seventh holes and had a 32 on the back nine

"It was a battle with myself," said Larrazabal, who won the Korea Championship in late April. "I didn't play well. I managed myself out there, holed a few great putts on the front nine and did my best to keep myself in position, then three birdies in the last four.

"To win golf tournaments, you have to make birdies at the end. It doesn't matter how fast you run at the beginning, you have to run faster at the end to win the race."

Match Play champ

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Pajaree Anannarukarn of Thailand capped the annual longest week on tour with a 3-and-1 victory to win the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play over Ayaka Furue of Japan.

Anannarukarn, who beat Linn Grant of Sweden in the morning semifinals at Shadow Creek, took the lead for good with a birdie on the par-5 seventh hole.

The Thai player kept up the pressure on a hot day north of Las Vegas, with both players carrying umbrellas under a bright blue sky to fend off the sun. But just when it looked as though fatigue was setting in from playing seven matches in five days, they produced some of their best shots.

Furue simply couldn't catch up, and she finished runner-up for the second straight year.

"Match Play is taking a lot of energy throughout the week," Anannarukarn said. "I'm really soaking it in right now. It's been a great week, and I'm grateful for everything."

The match ended on the par-3 17th when Anannarukarn drilled her tee shot to a right pin about six feet to the right of the hole and Furue found a back bunker. Furue's bunker shot hit the left side of the hole — had it hit the pin, it might have dropped — and rolled out some 12 feet.

She conceded the match.

Anannarukarn won for the second time on the LPGA Tour, and the first time since the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland in 2021, a tournament co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour.

Two days ago, it looked as though she might get eliminated. Anannarukarn lost on the 18th hole to Karis Davidson of Australia, forcing a sudden death playoff. Anannarukarn hit a tee shot that sank deep into a divot in the first cut. She hit perhaps her most important shot of the week, gouging it out and onto the green to win with a par.

In the knockout stage, she took out Solheim Cup stalwart Carlota Ciganda and then Cheyenne Knight of the United States in the quarterfinals. She made eight birdies against Grant in the semifinals, superb golf considering the fast, firm conditions of Shadow Creek.

Furue took out Leona Maguire of Ireland in the semifinals, another star from the last Solheim Cup, and grabbed an early lead in the championship match until the first of several mistakes by both players.

Anannarukarn is the first Thai winner on the LPGA Tour this season, a country so strong that it won the International Crown two weeks ago without Anannarukarn on the four-player team.

2024 Memorial Tournament odds, field: Surprising PGA picks, predictions by model that's nailed 12 majors

Sportsline's proven model simulated the memorial tournament 2024 10,000 times and revealed its surprising golf picks.

There have been eight first-time winners on the PGA Tour this season, but one shouldn't necessarily expect there to be a ninth at the 2024 Memorial Tournament. That's because none of those previous eight have come at the six signature events that have already taken place. Familiar names like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Hideki Matsuyama have been signature tournament winners this year, as those boast the strongest of fields. Nine of the top 10 ranked players in the world will tee off at the Memorial Tournament 2024 when play begins on Thursday at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

Scheffler has four wins this season and is the +360 favorite according to the 2024 Memorial Tournament odds. With two wins over his last four starts, McIlroy is at +800, with PGA champion Xander Schauffele rounding out the top three choices at +900. Tommy Fleetwood has the shortest odds (+3500) amongst anyone who has yet to win on the PGA Tour, but the Englishman does have 10 victories worldwide. Before making any 2024 Memorial Tournament picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up almost $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model correctly predicted Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,000. And at the 2024 PGA Championship, the model correctly called Xander Schauffele's first major victory heading into the weekend. 

The model also predicted Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, McClure's best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 12 majors entering the weekend, including the last three Masters and the 2024 PGA Championship. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now that the 2024 Memorial Tournament field is finalized, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard .

Top 2024 Memorial Tournament predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Memorial Tournament 2024: Collin Morikawa, who was two strokes off the lead heading into the final round before withdrawing last year, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top five. Morikawa has gone winless in his first 13 tournaments in 2024 after picking up just one win in 25 events last year. He continues to make the cut and contend in most of his appearances, but he has been unable to get across the finish line. 

In fact, he has not finished better than T-3 (Masters) this season, and he missed the cut in the Memorial Tournament two years ago. He ranks outside the top 115 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: putting and driving distance, while also ranking 105th in greens in regulation percentage. The model does not like his chance of breaking his winless drought this week, even though he is among the 2024 Memorial Tournament favorites at +1400.  See who else to fade here .

Another surprise: Justin Thomas, a +2500 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.

In order to score well at Muirfield Village, players will need to be extremely accurate with their irons. Thomas enters this week's event ranked seventh in strokes gained: approach to green (0.697). He's also been effective off the tee, ranking 22nd in driving distance (308.1) and 38th in total driving (132). His ability to constantly put himself in advantageous positions has the 31-year-old ranked seventh in birdie average (4.43) and 17th in scoring average (69.57).  Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong value pick for your 2024 Memorial Tournament bets.  See who else to back here .

2024 Memorial Tournament Round 1 updates: Adam Hadwin holds onto Memorial lead after first round

The 2023 Memorial Tournament did not scare Adam Hadwin off from returning to Muirfield Village Golf Course. 

After finishing the first round in 2023 3-under par, Hadwin missed the cut after finishing with four bogeys and two double-bogeys in the second round.

Hadwin is a stroke ahead of Scottie Scheffler , the No. 1 golfer in the world, at 5-under par. Xander Schauffele , Ludvig Aberg , Collin Morikawa and Corey Conners are two strokes behind Hadwin at 4-under. 

“I feel pretty comfortable right now over the golf ball with kind of the entire game,” Hadwin said. “I never felt rushed. I never felt that as I kept making birdies, like I was getting ahead of myself or anything like that. Very comfortable. I feel in a lot better position to kind of handle any sort of adversity that may come or when it comes, because I feel like it will come around this place. There’s just too many holes where the margin for error is so small that you can feel like you hit a good shot and get absolutely screwed. I feel like mentally I’m in a really good place right now to be able to handle that and move forward and accept it. And so we’ll show up tomorrow and get ready and see what it holds.”

2024 U.S. Open odds, golf picks: Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy predictions by model that called the Masters, PGA

O ver a dozen past U.S. Open champions will be in the 2024 U.S. Open field, with play beginning on Thursday, June 13 from Pinehurst No. 2. The U.S. Open 2024 will feature the likes of three-time champion Tiger Woods and two-time winner Brooks Koepka, as well as winners such as Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth. However, one golfer who is still looking for his first victory at this major is Phil Mickelson. The six-time major winner can clinch the career Grand Slam with a win over the 2024 U.S. Open field.

With no top-10s over the last decade at this event, Mickelson is a 150-1 longshot in the 2024 U.S. Open odds. Scottie Scheffler has yet to win this major but is the 4-1 favorite, with McIlroy following at 9-1. Xander Schauffele (10-1) and Jon Rahm (12-1) are among eight 2024 U.S. Open golfers shorter than 20-1, so this is expected to be a highly competitive tournament. Before locking in your 2024 U.S. Open picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to  see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up almost $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model correctly predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,000.

The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 12 majors entering the weekend, including three straight Masters and the 2024 PGA Championship. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now that the 2024 U.S. Open is approaching, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising.  Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2024 U.S. Open leaderboard .

2024 U.S. Open predictions for Brooks Koepka, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy

One shocker the model is calling for at the U.S. Open 2024: Brooks Koepka (12-1), a five-time major winner and the U.S. Open champion in 2017 and 2018, struggles and barely cracks the top 10. Koepka has gone through peaks and valleys in majors over his career. He won four majors from 2017 to 2019, but dipped in 2022, never finishing better than 55th across four major starts before bouncing back with a runner-up and victory in 2023. However, he's in the midst of another slump and enters the 2024 U.S. Open with three straight finishes outside the top 25 at majors.

Koepka has shot over par in eight of his last 11 rounds at majors. He has struggled to put together a strong 18 holes and hasn't appeared in the top 10 of a leaderboard after any round over his last four major starts. His average finish of 38th over these four majors simply doesn't inspire lots of confidence to utilize him at his short odds in U.S. Open 2024 bets.  See who else to fade here . 

The model has also locked in its projection for Tiger Woods (125-1), a 15-time major winner. This will be Woods' first U.S. Open start since 2020, when he shot 10-over-par and missed the cut. Since then, he's made six starts at majors, making two cuts, missing two cuts and withdrawing twice. He missed the cut in his last start at the PGA Championship, but he also noted a physical improvement in how he felt, saying, "I need to clean up my rounds but also know physically, yes, I am better than I was a month ago."

With another month having passed since that comment, Woods should, theoretically, be in an even better physical state for the U.S. Open. His past success at Pinehurst should also bring optimism with a pair of top-three finishes at the course when it hosted U.S. Opens in 1999 and 2005. It's been 10 years since Pinehurst No. 2 hosted any PGA Tour event, so much of the U.S. Open 2024 field will be competing at it for the first time. Woods' experience at the course can't be overlooked, so he'll look to lean on that rather than his recent results at majors.  See where every golfer finishes here .

On the other hand, the model has examined Rory McIlroy's (9-1) chances to win his second U.S. Open after being victorious in 2011. McIlroy has been red-hot in recent weeks, securing two wins in his last four starts. He also recorded a T-4 finish at the RBC Canadian Open at the beginning of the month.

McIlroy has been able to secure those positive results thanks to his effectiveness off the tee. The 35-year-old is ranked second in total driving (41), second in driving distance (318.1) and third in strokes gained off the tee (0.861). He has been streaky with his putter in 2024, ranking 40th in strokes gained putting (0.302) and 42nd in putts per round (28.49).  See the full U.S. Open projections from the model here .

Odds Outlook: Scottie Scheffler leads Signature crew at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday

Golfbet News

Change Text Size

The arrival of June kicks off a three-week stretch of big-time events. In the leadoff spot, the 49th Memorial Tournament presented by Workday welcomes a field of 72 players for the penultimate Signature Event of the season.

Located in Dublin, Ohio, Muirfield Village Golf Club designed by Jack Nicklaus and affectionately known as “Jack’s Place”, provides the scene as the final tune-up before the U.S. Open next week at Pinehurst No. 2.

With 28 of the top 30 in the Official World Golf Ranking teeing it up this week, Scottie Scheffler (+400) will have the target on his back as first choice at the BetMGM Sportsbook. A winner four times from just 12 starts in 2024, the Texan has cashed inside the top 10 in 10 consecutive starts. After the calendar turned to March, only nine players have beaten the man who leads the TOUR in SG: Total, SG: Tee-to-Green, SG: Approach-the-Green, and Scoring. Finishing in a tie for second at Colonial at the Charles Schwab Challenge in his last outing, Scheffler has cashed third in his last two appearances at Muirfield Village in 2023 and 2021.

Making his 13th start at the Augusta of the North, second-choice Rory McIlroy (+800) is still looking for his first win at Jack’s Place. Victorious in April at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and in May at his favorite stomping ground in Charlotte, Quail Hollow Club, the Irishman rolls into Ohio with serious momentum after closing 65-64 for T4 outside Toronto on Sunday. The co-leader after 54 holes last year, the 26-time winner on the PGA TOUR picked up his fifth top-10 payday at Muirfield Village, but first since the 2020-21 renovation. The par-72 stretches to 7,569 yards, the fifth-longest on TOUR this season, and the wet, spring conditions will make it play even longer, an advantage to him and the big hitters.

No longer the best player without a major championship, Xander Schauffele (+900) arrives for the big, three-week stretch of Signature Event-major championship-Signature Event sitting on top of the world. The PGA Championship winner at Valhalla Golf Club looks to continue his excellent run in 2024 on a course where he has never cashed inside the top 10 in six previous visits. Like Valhalla, this Jack Nicklaus design is more demanding the closer to the hole. Only Scheffler ranks ahead of him in SG: Total, SG: Tee-to-Green, and Scoring. Nobody has made the cut in more consecutive events, 47, than the Californian.

Collin Morikawa (+1400) is the only player in the top four who has won an event on this routing. The truncated 2020 schedule saw Muirfield Village host two events in back-to-back weeks in early July. The two-time major champion won the first event, the Workday Charity Open, in a playoff over Justin Thomas before cashing T48 the following week. The first time on the newly renovated 2021 edition, he lost a playoff to two-time winner Patrick Cantlay. Sitting in a tie for fourth after 54 holes last year, he withdrew with a sore back. The 2024 season for the Californian is heating up like the weather in the Midwest. After sharing third at the Masters, he followed up with T4 at the second major championship of the year and ran solo fourth at a demanding Colonial his last time out.

Ludvig Aberg (+1600) continues his tour of firsts as the calendar rounds back to June. In 2023, he was wrapping up his college career at Texas Tech before his meteoric rise in professional golf took off last summer. Playing his first two majors this season, the Swede finished T2 at Augusta National but missed the cut at another Jack Nicklaus design at Valhalla. Dealing with a knee situation for some time, the rest before the PGA Championship did not push him into the weekend. Making his first start since leaving Valhalla early, he has had two additional weeks of rest before beginning this massive three-week stretch.

Reigning champion Viktor Hovland (+1800) defeated Denny McCarthy (+6600) in a playoff to win on his fourth attempt at the Memorial Tournament. A quiet start to 2024 was darkened by a 71-81 missed cut at Augusta National, followed by a pre-tournament withdrawal before the RBC Heritage the following week. Back to the drawing board, the Norwegian closed with 69 at Wells Fargo for T24 and then posted four rounds of 68 or better, including 66 in each of the last three rounds, at Valhalla for solo third. Ah, much better. The last player to defend the title at Muirfield Village was Tiger Woods from 1999-2001.

An uneven 2024 season for two-time major champion Justin Thomas (+2500) has tacked back downwind. Opening the season with three consecutive paydays inside T12, the Kentucky native missed half of his next six weekends, including 72-79 at the Masters. Posting four rounds in the 60s for T5 at Harbour Town was followed with T21 at Quail Hollow Club and plenty of positive momentum heading home to Louisville for the PGA Championship. Even with the pressure of being the hometown hero, he added four more rounds in the 60s at Valhalla and signed for his fourth top-10 (T8) in 11 events. Maybe the third visit post-renovation (MC-T42) will be the charm!

Patrick Cantlay (+2800) , the eighth choice at the BetMGM Sportsbook, is the only two-time champion in the field (2019, 2021). The Californian also shared third in 2022. While course form should always be taken into consideration, his odds reflect his recent situation. The eight-time TOUR winner has not found the winner’s circle since August of 2022, and his last top-10 payday was the week after the Masters at Harbour Town. Reps at Wells Fargo (T29) and Valhalla (T53) over his previous two events have dimmed the spotlight entering the week.
