Cameron Smith, Jonas Blixt Win 2017 Zurich Classic in Monday Playoff

Kevin Kisner's heroic chip on the 72nd hole Sunday forced a sudden-death playoff Monday at the 2017 Zurich Classic. Unfortunately, that's where the magic ended for him and playing partner Scott Brown.

Cameron Smith hit a 3.5-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole Monday morning, which gave him and partner Jonas Blixt a win over Kisner and Brown in the PGA's first playoff event since 1981.

"It was pretty cool to knock the putt in for the win," Smith said after the round, per Brett Martel of the Associated Press. "I guess it would have felt a little bit different if Jonas had done it for my first win.
