Video: A hole-in-one to win a playoff!
Jonathan Byrd has just beaten Australian Cameron Percy and Scot Martin Laird to win the JT Shriners Hospitals Open with a hole-in-one on the fourth playoff hole!
In near darkness, the three golfers had just agreed to play one more hole and see if they could break the dead lock. Byrd did so in the most dramatic way to win a golf tournament. It was heartbreaking stuff for Percy who has struggled in his debut year on the PGA Tour the win would have assured him a a PGA Tour card next year.
