complete leaderboard At the Isco Championship in Kentucky, Harry Hall of England won a thrilling five-man play-off to win his first-ever PGA Tour championship. In order to stave off the challenge of American trio Pierceson Coody, Matt NeSmith, Zac Blair, and Rico Hoey of the Philippines, the 26-year-old Cornishman chipped in for a birdie at the third extra hole. Hall’s wife Jordan is expected to give birth to their first child a few days before he wins $720,000 (£555,000) and 300 FedEx Cup points. The deadline is this Friday. I was at a stage in the FedEx Cup where I kind of needed to play more,” said Hall, who had only managed one top-25 performance in 18 events. She is set to induce on Tuesday.
She’s a celebrity, so maybe she can do anything she wants at this point. I think I can afford to take this week off. I’m relieved that I might not have to play every week going forward since I felt that my FedEx Cup standing was a little precarious at the time.” After NeSmith and Blair set the early standard and it took many hours to realize that nobody in the final groups was going to be able to surpass them, all five players in the play-off had ended at 22 under par at Keene Trace Golf Club. Blair, who had already left the course, realized he might be in a play-off after seeing the tournament coverage.
After making his fourth birdie of the day on the 14th hole to grab the lead on 23-under, Hall dropped back, while Hoey, who had moved to 23-under at the 15th hole, concluded with a bogey at the 18th. At the first play-off hole, Hoey and Blair were out, while Coody (who had led after the first three rounds), Hall, and NeSmith all made a par to stay in the hunt. At the third hole of the play-off, the par-three ninth, all three players missed the green. However, Hall made no errors as he chipped in from the rough at the back, leaving his opponents no chance to recover.
