Murray wins Sony Open in 3-way playoff; Canada's Taylor finishes 3 shots back

Abbotsford, b.c., native ties for 7th at 14 under in honolulu.

Social Sharing

Grayson Murray is a PGA Tour winner again and feels better than ever about his future. The gold trophy he won Sunday at the Sony Open in Honolulu with a 40-foot birdie putt in a playoff is only a small reason for that.

Murray has been sober for eight months, tired of alcohol fuelling his arrogance in public and making him feel like a failure for wasting talent in his private moments.

He feels renewed through Christianity and is getting married in April to a woman that became a big part of a small support group.

No, winning didn't change his life. But it sure provided a big boost to his career.

"My story is not finished. I think it's just beginning," Murray said. "I hope I can inspire a lot of people going forward that have their own issues."

Grayson Murray's winning moment <a href="https://twitter.com/SonyOpenHawaii?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SonyOpenHawaii</a> is unreal ⚡️ <a href="https://t.co/mXWlIaU3Dr">pic.twitter.com/mXWlIaU3Dr</a> &mdash; @PGATOUR

Murray always looked like the odd-man out in a three-way battle at the end of the Sony Open until he delivered the goods.

His wedge into a breeze to a back pin to three feet gave him a birdie on the par-5 18th for a 3-under 67 and allowed him to join a three-way playoff with Keegan Bradley and Byeong Hun An. And then he buried a birdie putt from just inside 40 feet with An facing a four-foot birdie.

Bradley missed from 18 feet. An's short putt grazed the lip. Murray had another PGA Tour title, the other coming more than six years ago at an opposite-field event when he was a rookie.

The timing couldn't be better.

Murray, who earned his way back to the PGA Tour with two wins on the Korn Ferry Tour last year, now can bank on his first trip to the Masters in April and a spot in the seven remaining signature events with their $20 million US purses.

Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., finished in a tie for seventh at 14 under — three shots back of the winner. Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., finished at 13 under and tied for 10th.

Ben Silverman of Thornhill, Ont., tied for 18th at 11 under, while Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., finished tied for 30th at 9 under. Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., tied for 57th at 6 under.

As big as the win was for Murray, it was a tough loss for Byeong Hun An and Keegan Bradley.

An hit a 3-iron to just inside 15 feet on the 18th in regulation, the best shot of the day on Waialae's closing hole, and two-putted for birdie an a 64 to be the first to post 17-under 263. In the playoff, he hit a superb pitch from the thick collar below the green to four feet, only to miss.

"Just a poor putt and poor read at the end which could have happened on any holes during 73 holes," An said. "It's a shame it ended that way. It hurts, but what are you going to do?"

Bradley broke away from a five-way tie for the lead with a 20-foot birdie on the 15th, but he had to settle for pars the rest of the way. He missed the fairway on the 18th and had to lay up, hitting a pedestrian wedge to 20 feet. The winning putt in regulation narrowly missed.

In the playoff, he was in the best position in the fairway. But he pulled his fairway metal into the grandstand, chipped only to 18 feet and missed after Murray had made birdie.

Murray, who earned $1,494,000, moves into the top 50 for the first time and has reason to believe the path leads only higher.

He ran into trouble with PGA Tour discipline three years ago in Honolulu. He later took to social media to criticize the tour for not helping him with his drinking. There also was a social media spat with Kevin Na when Murray poked fun at Na's pace of play.

He was angry and his career was going nowhere. The winner's lei around his neck was a sweet smell and allowed time to reflect even in the immediacy of winning.

"It's not easy, you know?" he said. "I wanted to give up a lot of times — give up on myself, give up on the game of golf, give up on life at times. When you get tired of fighting, let someone fight for you.

"My life is so good right now. I wouldn't trade anything," he said. "Everyone in my life right now who is close to me who has been through the struggles with me. All of them are part of this. I think this is just the start of something really special."

Carl Yuan and Russell Henley each closed with a 63 and had their chances.

Yuan made his mistake on the par-3 17th, missing the green left and missing a four-foot par putt to fall out of the lead. And he appeared to get a break on the 18th when his second shot sailed into the hospitality area.

The ball was never found, but officials interviewed spectators and determined with "virtual certainty" it was in a large part of a compound that included tents and restrooms and other structures. He got a free drop and escaped with par.

J.T. Poston finished alone in sixth with the round of the week. He closed with a 61 and was among seven players who had a share of the lead at one point.

PGA Tour: Grayson Murray snatches Sony Open win after beating Byeong Hun An, Keegan Bradley in play-off

Grayson Murray made a huge birdie on the first play-off hole to defeat Byeong Hun An and Keegan Bradley in Hawaii and claim a second PGA Tour title; Victory moves Murray inside the world's top 50 for the first time in his career;

Grayson Murray ended a six-and-a-half-year winless run on the PGA Tour by snatching a dramatic play-off victory after a remarkable finish to the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Murray birdied his final hole to close a bogey-free 67 on the final day at Waialae Country Club, seeing him join former PGA champion Keegan Bradley and South Korea's Byeong Hun An on 17 under.

The trio replayed the par-five 18th in the play-off, where Murray holed a birdie putt from nearly 40 feet - as his playing partners could only make par - to earn him his second PGA Tour title and move him inside the world's top 50 for the first time in his career.

"I was at peace with the 40-footer in the play-off," Murray said. "I expected Ben [Byeong Hun An] to make it. This game is crazy, but I knew I had to give it a chance. I wasn't going to leave it short! Obviously 100 per cent of the putts that you leave short don't go in. I just gave it my best stroke, and obviously it went in."

Murray comes out on top in Hawaii

An set the initial clubhouse after recovering from bogey-birdie-bogey start to his final round to post a six-under 64, playing a three-hole stretch in four under from the seventh before adding three more birdies on his back nine.

The 32-year-old had to settle for a two-putt birdie at the par-five last after reaching the green in two but missing his 15-foot eagle try, which would have earned him outright victory, while Bradley also failed to convert a putt for the win on his final hole.

Bradley and Murray both missed the fairway with their drives at No 18 and both punched out. Murray, who was one off the pace at the time, hit to inside three feet and tapped in for birdie to join the leaders as Bradley missed from just under 25 feet to win the tournament in regulation.

Kirk's dramatic PGA Tour win in Hawaii

Murray's drive hooked left in the play-off and appeared to hit palm trees on its way down, leaving him only able to punch out onto the fairway, with the American then finding the green with his third shot but around 38 feet from the hole.

Bradley's second shot sailed into the grandstand and required a drop, before he pitched to around 20 feet with his third, while An appeared to be the most likely victor when he chipped from the greenside rough to within four feet of the cup.

Murray put pressure on his playing partners by draining the long-range putt, which was enough for victory when Bradley missed his birdie effort and An's putt to extend the contest trickled past the hole.

"It was a great week. I played great. I played good enough to win," Bradley said. "But sometimes it's just not quite good enough, and that was one of these weeks."

Russell Henley and China's Carl Yuan finished a shot back in tied-fourth ahead of J.T Poston, who charged up the leaderboard on the final day with a nine-under 61, while Canada's Nick Taylor shared seventh with Argentina's Emiliano Grillo. and France's Matthieu Pavon.

Murray takes inspiration from Kirk

Murray stopped drinking alcohol last year to try and improve himself and cited Chris Kirk, who previously took time away from the PGA Tour to address mental health and addiction concerns and won The Sentry the previous week, as an inspiration.

"I would drink during tournament weeks," Murray admitted. "It was my outlet. I thought I was invincible coming out here as a 22-year-old, winning as a rookie, played three days hungover when I won.

"Best thing and worst thing that ever happened to me was winning my rookie year but also feeling like I was invincible. It took me a long time to get to this point.

"I'm a different man now. I would not be in this position right now today if I didn't put that drink down eight months ago."

2023 Sony Open leaderboard, scores: Jordan Spieth shares lead with Chris Kirk, Taylor Montgomery in Hawaii

A jon rahm-jordan spieth open to the year would be spectacular.

In what could have been a letdown week for the PGA Tour, a superstar emerged on the first day of the Sony Open and shares the lead going into Friday's second round.

Jordan Spieth shot a 64 at Honolulu's Waialae Country Club on Thursday and is locked up with Chris Kirk and Taylor Montgomery atop the leaderboard, one ahead of a group of six other golfers after play was suspended due to darkness. Though Spieth has won in Hawaii before at the Tournament of Champions, he has never won this particular event. A win here, however, could portend a monstrous 2023 for the three-time major winner.

Let's take a look at his round along with what to expect the rest of the week.

The leaders

T1. Jordan Spieth, Chris Kirk, Taylor Montgomery (-6): Warning: This is going to be a very Spieth-heavy article (for obvious reasons). The good news for the Golden Child is that he's leading a golf tournament. The bad news is that he nearly needed to lead the field in putting to do so. Spieth nearly had a perfectly clean card Thursday only sullying it with a bogey on the par-4 13th hole. He said after his round that the putter is starting to feel good again.

"Half my putts today were like, 'Wow, I knew exactly where that was going.' Some of them went in and some of them didn't, and the others I didn't and I made some of them," Spieth said. "It's just -- but I know once I get to a certain feel through the ball that I can beat the field. I can be No. 1 in strokes gained for the week because I know what that feels like.

"So I'm just trying to get that way. It's getting there, and that's exciting."

The numbers agree. Spieth's 50-round rolling average in strokes gained putting is above PGA Tour average (0.0 SG) for the first time since the Texas Open last year. 

I'm not sure Spieth has anything to prove to anyone given that he's already won three majors and 13 times before turning 30. But a win here and a little momentum rolling into a big time stretch of golf leading into the Masters would certainly elevate him in my mind back to somebody who could feasibly be the No. 1 player in the world by the end of the year. A long way to go, and he needs to hit it a bit better than he did today, but something is certainly brewing.

Other contenders

T4. Harris English, Denny McCarthy, Brendon Todd, David Lipsky, Rory Sabbatini (-5)

T11. Stewart Cink, K.J. Choi, Cam Davis (-4)

We could talk about English (which we do below), but how about Cink and Choi (combined age 101) in the mix at this event! Both shot 66s and both did it by gaining strokes in every statistical category, which is remarkable.

Also, Sabbatini's scripting on Thursday was all-time.

Quote(s) of the day

Spieth had some gems after his 64. The first was about where his game is at compared to where it has been in recent years.

"I believe I can shoot 5 or 6 under each day out here," Spieth said. "Not to say that that means it'll happen, but there are other times I would be sitting there going, 'How do I hold this shit together,' to be honest. Seriously."

I can't think of a better way to sum up his entire career.

The second was a big-time flex following that quote about his game and the revelation that he and his family recently purchased an RV to travel around to PGA Tour events.

Q: When was the last time you flew coach?

Spieth: "The 27th -- oh, coach, sorry, no. ... I thought you said commercial."

Sure, sure, sure.

Harris English resurfaces

Harris English was out for much of 2022 with an injury, and it's clear that he's had a difficult time bouncing back. In 15 starts since returning last June, English has just one top 10 finish (the Fortinet Championship in September). His 65 in Round 1 marked just the third time he'd gained at least 4.4 strokes on the field in a single round since the summer of 2021. English said after his round that this is as close to 100% as he's felt in a long time so hopefully this is the start of a nice run for him in 2023.

2023 Sony Open updated odds and picks

• Jordan Spieth: 4-1
• Taylor Montgomery: 8-1
• Harris English: 14-1
• Chris Kirk: 18-1
• Denny McCarthy: 20-1
• Cam Davis: 20-1

This is a tough board. I don't particularly love anybody on it, but if you made me choose, I think Davis at 20-1 is really interesting. He's just two back and led the field from tee to green on Thursday. A big time year from him wouldn't be a surprise at all, and it's very easy to envision -- even if his game doesn't seemingly fit Waialae perfectly -- to envision him starting to roll this weekend.

2024 Zurich Classic preview, expert predictions

2024 pga championship odds, picks, best bets, field, 2024 zurich classic odds, picks, predictions, bets, billy horschel goes to dominican republic. he returns a pga tour winner again.

PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic (AP) Billy Horschel went to the Dominican Republic for the first time in search of momentum and came away with a PGA Tour victory he sorely needed Sunday.

Horschel ran off four straight birdies on the front nine to get in the mix, began to pull away with an eagle on the par-5 12th hole and closed with a 9-under 63 for a two-shot victory in the Corales Puntacana Championship.

“This game of golf is so fickle,” Horschel said. “You can put a lot into it and not get everything you want out of it. I knew ... I had the ability, I had the talent. I had to continue to believe the good stuff was going to come to the forefront.”

Horschel, who started the final round three shots behind, all but sealed it with an 18-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole.

Wesley Bryan, trying to go wire-to-wire, was bogey-free with four birdies and still only one shot behind late in the round. But right after Horschel made his final birdie, Bryan missed a par par putt from just outside 2 feet and fell three behind.

Bryan birdied the 18th for a 68 and was runner-up, which will get him into the AT&T Byron Nelson in two weeks. He was playing on a sponsor exemption. Kevin Tway shot 69 and finished third.

Horschel finished at 23-under 265 and earned $720,000.

He won for the eighth time on the PGA Tour and the first time in nearly two years. This gets him into the PGA Championship next month, and he likely will be in the next $20 million signature event at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Those are the tournaments Horschel, a former FedEx Cup champion, was used to playing. The opposite-field events are seen as a chance for younger players to get their first win. In the case of Horschel, it was crucial to get some confidence back.

He delivered one of his best closing rounds when he needed it - the four straight birdies starting on the par-3 second hole, a 31 on the front nine, the eagle on No. 12 to seize control and no bogeys over the last 30 holes of the tournament.

It was nearly a year ago at the Memorial that Horschel, the defending champion at Muirfield Village, shot 84 and was near tears talking about how low his confidence had fallen. He missed the FedEx Cup playoffs for the first time since 2012.

He had shown signs this year with a pair of top 10s, and now has a victory for validation. Along with getting into the PGA Championship at Valhalla, he is assured of starting next year at Kapalua in The Sentry.
