Nick Taylor delivered another dramatic PGA Tour victory, chipping in for eagle to force a play-off on his way to victory over Nico Echavarria.at the Sony Open in Hawaii.
Canada's Taylor never looked like a winner at Waialae Country Club after missing two short birdie chances down the closing stretch, only to chip in from off the green at the par-five last and post a five-under 65 to jump into the clubhouse lead. Echavarria produced a great bunker shot for a tap-in birdie on the 18th to match Taylor's 65 and also reach 16 under, with Stephen Jaeger and JJ Spaun both finishing one shot outside of the play-off in tied-third.
Jaeger hit his tee shot out of bounds at the 16th and had to make a 20-footer just to scramble a bogey, while Spaun missed a 10-foot birdie chance on the same hole and then bogeyed the next when he failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker. At the same time, Echavarria made a 15-foot par save on the 15th, a 12-foot birdie on the 16th, saved par from a bunker on the 17th and then hit a splendid bunker shot across the 18th birdie to get up-and-down for birdie.
