From that point on, but, neither guy should shake free from the other. They matched rankings hollow-for-hole, each creating a heroic effort simply to hold the playoff. Par, birdie, par, birdie, par... After which they reached the 6th playoff hole, the par-3 17th. Kizzire's iron shot crept off the returned of the green; Hahn left himself a elaborate shot nearly twice as lengthy... And his putt from off the inexperienced came up short.

Then his putter subsequently let him down. He posted bogey. Kizzire -putted for par and the win.
