Alex Noren, Jason Day take Farmers Insurance Open to a fifth day playoff

If you weren’t watching the Farmers Insurance Open on Sunday, you missed out on quite the display of professional golf. Alex Noren, former Oklahoma State golfer, started the day with a one-shot lead after 54 holes. To grab his first PGA Tour win, he’d have to fend off a heroic effort from some of golf’s elite.

After 72 holes of regulation, we still didn’t have a winner. Jason Day, Ryan Palmer, and Alex Noren engaged in a sudden-death playoff after being tied at 10-under through regulation.

Palmer would eventually be knocked out after the first playoff hole, but Day and Noren would duke it out in a battle that wouldn’t be decided on Sunday.
