Open Extended ReactionsDETROIT -- Aldrich Potgieter ended the protracted Rocket Classic, making an 18-foot birdie putt on the fifth playoff hole to outlast Max Greyserman for his first PGA Tour title Sunday.
"I finally got one to the hole," Potgieter said after missed opportunities on the green by three players led to the longest playoff of the season on the tour.
The 20-year-old Potgieter is the youngest player on the tour and its biggest hitter, averaging 326-plus yards off the tee.
The trend continued on the par-4 16th, where both Greyserman and Potgieter missed 16-foot putts with a chance to win.
15 for a second time in the playoff, Greyserman two-putted from 34 feet and then Potgieter finally ended it.
