RBC Heritage: Justin Thomas claims that the victory of the first PGA Tour has been a dramatic play-off win in Hilton Head | Golf news

Justin Thomas finished a three-year victory in a PGA tour with a dramatic play-off win in the RBC heritage.

Thomas fired 68 on Harbor Town Golf Connections to finish 17, with Andrew Novak, who mixed five birds with two Bogeys and missed eight feet on 72 hole to ask for his Girl’s Tour Tour.

The players returned to a quarter for a quarter for the playoffs, where Thomas drained the bird of 20 feet on the first additional hole to request his 16th PGA Tour title and the first of his success of the 2022 PGA championship.

Daniel Berger has released six under 65 to jump into a third one, along with Mackenzie Hughes, Brian Harman, Maverick McNezyyy, and English Tommy Fleetwood is a further hit in the seventh place before the Scottie Scheffler champion.

How did Thomas bite the thriller Hilton Head

Novak, playing with the leader overnight, Woo Kim in the last group, stood up and descended from the Greenside bunker to make the Ptisi Parti second, but then missed with four legs to save the couple in the next.

Kim also ran into the third to briefly make it a four-sided tie on the top of the congested plates, only for Thomas and McNealy to be down in advance, using a part-five 15.

Novak posted birds back from the fifth to the edge in front, but scored the seventh couple of three after finding sand from a teenager, because Thomas created an extraordinary approach to a rude approach in the eighth, to set a 12 -foot bird to move into solo leadership for 16 years.

McNealy missed a five -rate bird’s chance of a five -ninth -ninth -level bird’s chance to withdraw the level with Thomas, who also closed his front nine with a couple, because Novak used that hole to reach the turning point related to the lead.

Novak recovered from shooting with shooting in 11th place to dry out a 15 -foot track to save the couple and stay with the lead, while Scheffler closed within two until he was twice in double couple and did not score 17th.

Harman also made a return nine, until he found water in the 15th, where Thomas finished running Pars to walking with a 25-foot bird to move forward with three play holes.

Novak reacted with a glossy bird of 15 feet at 16. And had a great opportunity to win the regulation tournament, seeing Thomas to set the aim of a three -pair club house, just to miss a chance for a bird of eight feet to win the first place.

Both players found a green regulation in the first play-off hole, where Novak failed to make his 35-foot outer outer bird and watched Thomas exhaust his effort to encourage wild celebrations 18. Green.

Thomas Savors causing victory

Justin Thomas: “It’s so hard to force a problem on this course. It’s so fast and fun to play. I’m really proud of myself.

“I’ve never made a tournament tournament before. I was lucky to have a lot of touches, but that was pretty cool. It wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be.”

Andrew Novak: “I’m not as frustrated as I thought I was going to be. I feel like I did a lot of good things. I’m pretty proud to put myself in that position when I really felt like I didn’t swing him so great this week, the fact that I was able to throw out almost a victory, not really not to swing my best.

“I hit a few good down the section, which was cool, because with pressure on it it usually got firmer, and I was still able to pull some hits. I was happy to see it. I thought I was a little more comfortable to the end than I might have been in the past.”
