Hoffman falls short at RBC despite favorable ruling

Related Topics: Jhonattan Vegas, Charley Hoffman

The smile that crept across Charley Hoffman's face during the final round of the RBC Canadian Open dissipated by the time he lost a playoff to Jhonattan Vegas.

Hoffman started the final round with a one-shot lead, and started the day at Glen Abbey Golf Club with birdies on each of the first two holes. But he began to struggle on the greens as his round progressed, and he trailed defending champ Vegas by two shots with three holes to go.

Hoffman responded with a birdie on No. 16, but his 22-foot eagle putt on the final hole for the win missed the mark.
