CURRENT YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

• Zurich Classic of New Orleans: While teamed with fellow Aiken, South Carolina resident Kevin Kisner, was defeated in his first playoff on the PGA TOUR after losing to Jonas Blixt/Cameron Smith at the fourth hole of sudden death at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans after both teams finished at 27-under 261. Duo shot 70-64-67-60. In the new two-man team Foursomes/Four-ball format, Kisner chipped in for eagle from 95 feet as darkness fell on the final hole of regulation to force the playoff, which began Monday. Storms caused a six-hour suspension of play on Sunday, disrupting a final-round 12-under 60, tied for lowest round of the week. Round began with eight consecutive birdies in the Four-ball format to erase the four-stroke deficit they started with on Sunday. Additional birdie at No. 10 earned a brief lead in the tournament. Both teams made par at the first three playoff holes (18,18,9) before Smith pitched from 60 yards to within three feet of the hole on 18 and converted the birdie putt for victory.
• Genesis Open: Birdied two of his final three holes at Riviera Country Club to post a final-round 67 at the Genesis Open, moving into a tie for second with Thomas Pieters at 12-under 272 (five strokes behind runaway champion Dustin Johnson). One of just two (Ollie Schniederjans) players to post all four rounds in the 60s. Marked his first top-10 since a T5 at the 2016 Puerto Rico Open in late May.
