PGA Tour : Rocket Classic Leaderboard
It took 77 holes, 5 of them in a playoff for Aldrich Potgieter to become the youngest South African to win a PGA Tour event.
As expected the jam packed leaderboard provided a Sunday shootout, culminating in a three man playoff all at -22.
Chris Kirke was eliminated with a bogey 4 on the 2nd hole, leaving Potgieter and Max Greyserman to play 3 more before the young prodigy rolled in a 20 foot birdie on the par 3 15th for the win worth $1,728,000 and 500 Fed Ex Cup points and a full 2 year exemption including a trip to the 2026 Masters.
He joins Rory McIlroy, Seve Ballesteros and Tom Kim as International players to win on the PGA Tour before turning 21.
