Luke List holed a 43-foot birdie putt to win a five-man playoff and capture the Sanderson Farms Championship on Sunday in Jackson, Miss.
In the PGA Tour’s first playoff with at least five participants since 2017, List headed back to the 18th tee at the Country Club of Jackson with Ben Griffin, Scott Stallings and Swedes Ludvig Aberg and Henrik Norlander after all five finished 18-under 270 in regulation.
Aberg was furthest from the pin after the quintet hit their second shots at the par-4 hole. His lag putt had a similar line as List’s, and List followed by hitting a perfectly paced putt that broke slightly right to left before dropping.
It was the 38-year-old List’s second victory on tour. He won the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open.
Griffin, 27, held the 54-hole lead and fumbled a chance to win the tournament in regulation, with two of his five bogeys coming at Nos. 16 and 18. His par try at No. 18 slowly curled just around the cup, dropping him to 18 under for the first time all day and forcing the playoff.
Griffin shot a 2-over 74. List, Stallings and Norlander all shot 70, while Aberg — the only Ryder Cup participant in this week’s field — posted his fourth straight round in the 60s with a 68.
China’s Carl Yuan, playing with Griffin in the final pairing, could have made it a six-man playoff but two-putted for bogey on the 18th hole. He shot a 72 and tied with Mark Hubbard (67) and South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout (68) at 17 under.
Hubbard had a birdie-eagle-birdie stretch at Nos. 13-15 to get to 19 under but bogeyed the final two holes to drop out of playoff range.
