NAPA, Calif. — The two lasting images of Emiliano Grillo in his PGA Tour rookie debut were both misses.
And then he made the one putt he could afford to miss.
"This is the greatest moment in my life in golf," the 23-year-old Argentine said Sunday after his playoff win in the Frys.com Open.
Grillo was trying to make a move up the leaderboard Saturday afternoon when he was told on the 296-yard 17th hole that the green was clear. His tee shot was just left of the green, and only later did he realize it came within inches of hitting Rory McIlroy.
