It took overtime for two men looking to win their second PGA Tour titles, but eventually it was Mackenzie Hughes who defeated Sepp Straka by making birdie on the second playoff hole Sunday to win the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson (Miss.).
A second-round 63 vaulted Hughes into contention, a third-round 68 kept him there and a final-round 69 was just enough to hold on and backup his maiden PGA Tour win at the 2016 RSM Classic in Georgia. Hughes, 31, made four birdies and a lone bogey on the day but had to get up and down on the last hole for par to secure a spot in the playoff after hitting his drive off the 18th tee well left.
Straka, 29, had a little more work to do to get into the playoff and made four birdies in a five-hole stretch on the front nine. He bogeyed the par-3 10th hole, then made consecutive birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 and parred each of the last three.
Both men made par on the first playoff hole—the par-4 18th—then, with darkness fast approaching, Hughes made birdie from 10 feet to seal the deal on 18 the second time around. He earned $1.422 million for his victory in this, his 158th PGA Tour start. Straka, trying to win his second PGA Tour event after capturing the Honda Classic earlier this year, earned $861,100.
Garrick Higgo shot a second consecutive 68 and finished alone in third place, only one shot behind. Fellow South African Dean Burmester (67) was another shot back in fourth place, and Emiliano Grillo (69), Nick Hardy (70), Keegan Bradley (70) and Mark Hubbard (74) all tied for fifth place.
The overall purse this week was $7.9 million. Here’s the prize money payout for each golfer who made the cut.
