March 27 (Reuters) - Long-hitting Tony Finau birdied the third extra hole to beat fellow American Steve Marino in a playoff at the Puerto Rico Open on Sunday.
The 26-year-old Finau clinched his first PGA Tour victory, in his second full season on the PGA Tour.
He shot a closing 70 to finish regulation locked with Marino (70) at 12-under-par 276, one stroke ahead of Mexican Rodolfo Cazaubon (68) and third-round leader Ian Poulter, of England, who carded 72.
Finau played his final eight holes in two-over in windy conditions at Coco Bach to allow Marino to extra holes.
