PGA Tour Sony Open final leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/sony-open-in-hawaii/leaderboard.html
Brendan Steele started play on Sunday with a 3 shot lead and was playing well enough all day until a bogey at the 17th and a hooked 2 iron approach shot at the par 5 18th hole over the grandstand left Cameron Smith with a 10 foot birdie which he made to force a playoff.
On the playoff at the 18th, Smith hit a great approach to birdie range while Steele went long and made a bogey, leaving Smith with an easy 2 putt for the win.
He moves to 5th on the Fed Ex Cup and 31st in the world. He also gets a two year exemption and a berth at Augusta and the PGA Championship.
Meanwhile Steele who hadn't had a top 10 in 38 starts let this one slip away, however his play will help with his confidence as he goes on to La Quinta / PGA West next week for the old Bob Hope which is his home course.
Corey Connors had a 69 66 weekend to finish T12 while Nick Taylor was 67 71 T32 -3.
