Brendon Todd got up-and-down for par on the final hole Monday morning to close with a 3-under 68 and win the Mayakoba Golf Classic, his second straight victory in a remarkable turnaround.
Early this morning, Todd was tied with Vaughn Taylor when they were among 12 players who had to return to El Camaleon to complete the rain-delayed tournament.
He holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole but missed a 4 foot par putt on the 16th.
He then made pars on 17 and 18 to get to -20, while Taylor had a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that stopped right on the lip.
Taylor shot 68 and tied for second with Carlos Ortiz and Adam Long at -19.
Todd was 47 under par in his last 8 rounds which is remarkable considering he was suffering from the full-swing yips. He was so bad he disappeared down the world ranking and lost his status the last three seasons. Playing when he could on Past Champion status, he had made just six of his previous 47 cuts when he entered this 2019 year.
Canadian scores: Nick Taylor T26, 67 70 70 69 -8, David Hearn T41, 69 70 71 68 -6, Graham DeLaet T58 68 71 72 71 -2.
Ben Silverman, Roger Sloan, Mac Hughes, Michael Gligic all missed the cut.
