Canadian rookie Mackenzie Hughes wins Sea Island playoff
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Mackenzie Hughes holed an 18-foot par putt from off the green Monday morning to win the RSM Classic and become the first rookie in 20 years to go wire-to-wire for his first PGA Tour victory.
The Canadian calmed his nerves and came up clutch in the 42-degree chill at Sea Island. He was the only player of the four remaining in the playoff who was never on the green at the par-3 17th hole until his ball was in the cup.
