Patton Kizzire Outlasts James Hahn After 6 Playoff Holes to Win 2018 Sony Open

Patton Kizzire has his second PGA Tour win of the season after beating James Hahn in the sixth hole of a sudden-death playoff at the 2018 Sony Open.

Hahn had overcome a deficit of seven strokes to create a tie with a final-round 62, but he bogeyed on the sixth playoff hole to allow Kizzire to finally secure the win.

Tom Hoge had the 54-hole lead going into Sunday, the first of his career, but a double bogey on No. 16 and a few missed putts dropped him to third place at 16 under.

The Honolulu tournament at Waialae Country Club is one of the first big events of the season, and it could serve as a stepping stone for a big 2018 for Kizzire as it did last year for Justin Thomas.
