“They say the second is harder than the first and it definitely was,” Grillo said. The Argentine’s 9-iron at the second playoff hole landed to the left of a greenside bunker and kicked on the green. It stopped eight feet from the hole. And then came his winning putt.

A 25-year-old rookie Harry Hall had led the board since opening with a tournament-best 8-under 62. He had an early three-stroke lead with birdies at his first two holes. He, however, drove in the water and was knocked out. The Englishman finished with final-round 73 and T-3 finish.
