July 17 (Reuters) - Aaron Baddeley held a victory party as his 24-foot birdie putt turned in toward the cup for a sudden-death Barbasol Championship playoff win over Kim Si-woo in Alabama on Sunday that ended a five-year title drought.
The Australian raised his arms, hurled his cap and hugged his wife and four children as they spilled onto the green on the fourth extra hole after he and Kim had both parred the par-four 18th twice and the par-three 17th before returning to 18 for the climax.
"It's been a long five years," Baddeley, 35, told Golf Channel on the green after celebrating his fourth PGA Tour victory and first since winning the 2011 Northern Trust Open at Riviera.
