Streb secures 2nd PGA Tour title
Robert Streb made an 8-foot par putt to stay alive in a playoff and ended it on the second extra hole Sunday with a pitching wedge that came an inch from going in, giving him a victory over Kevin Kisner in the RSM Classic in Georgia.
Streb, 33, won for the second time on the PGA Tour, his other title also coming in a playoff at Sea Island six years ago. He rallied from a five-shot deficit in 2014.
This time, Streb lost a three-shot lead until a 6-iron to 12 feet on the par-3 17th hole for a birdie that allowed him to close with a 2-under 68 and force extra holes.
Kisner, whose first of of three PGA Tour titles came at Sea Island in 2015, closed with a 63. They finished at 19-under 263, one shot ahead of Cameron Tringale (62). ■ Sei Young Kim won the Pelican Women’s Championship in Belleair, Florida, for her second straight victory, closing with an even-par 70 for a three-stroke victory over Ally McDonald. The Women’s PGA winner way back on Oct. 11 in her last start, the second-ranked Kim, 27, won for the 12th time on the LPGA Tour to break a tie for third on the South Korean victory list with Jiyai Shin, behind only Inbee Park (20) and Se Ri Pak (25).
