2021 Travelers Championship winner Harris English. (PGA TOUR)
CROMWELL, CT Day 4 of the 2021 Travelers Championship started with some big names at or near the top of the leaderboard, and ended with an historic 8-hole playoff between a steady competitor with three previous PGA Tour victories and a virtual unknown who roomed with Jordan Spieth at the University of Texas and briefly caddied for him at a Tour event.
Harris English, who won a playoff earlier this season at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, outlasted Kramer Hickok by draining a 16-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, the seventh time each competitor had played the par-4 in a three-hour span. Each completed 72 holes of regulation play at 13-under par 267.
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) Nelly Korda powered her way to her first major championship Sunday with a performance worthy of her new status as the No. 1 player in women’s golf.
Korda nearly holed out with a 7-wood from 243 yards for a tap-in eagle, and the 22-year-old American seized control by using her length from that graceful swing for another eagle that sent her to victory in KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
She finished with a 15-foot par putt for a 4-under 68, giving her a three-shot victory over Lizette Salas at the Atlanta Athletic Club. At 19-under 269, she tied the Women’s PGA record to par last matched by Inbee Park at Westchester Country Club in 2015.
