PGA Tour: Brian Campbell snatches John Deere Classic victory in play-off after thrilling final round | Golf News
Brian Campbell won his second victory in the season’s playoffs on the PGA Tour by beating Emiliano Grillo to the first additional hole of John Deere Classic.
Campbell and Grillo both displayed the round of finals 67 at TPC Deere Run to finish the 18 sous and at the top of a congested ranking, where 14 players were separated by two shots with only nine holes to cover.
The pair returned to the 18th by four for a play-off, where Grillo failed to go up and down to save the peer from the back of the green and allowed Campbell to close the victory with a peer tap-in.
Victory follows Campbell’s victory at the Open of Mexico and sees him become the fifth player to have several PGA Tour titles this season, joining Scottie Scheffler, Rory Mcilroy, Sepp Straka and Ryan Fox.
Kevin Roy and David Lipsky finished a tie, with Max Homa two strokes in a part of fifth place which also contained Matt Kuchar and the former champion of the United States Lucas Glover.
