Austin Smotherman secured his second PGA Tour title with a playoff victory over Seamus Power at the weather-affected Bermuda Championship. The tournament was shortened to 54 holes due to high winds, forcing a rare Monday conclusion to determine the winner.
Smotherman and Power returned to the Port Royal Golf Course on Monday to settle the championship. Smotherman clinched the win by two-putting from 14 feet on the par-3 16th hole, while Power was unable to recover from a difficult lie in the rough. The victory not only earned Smotherman $1.08 million from the $6 million purse but also secured his PGA Tour status and a spot in the U.S. Open.
