NEW YORK, July 1 ― Harris English rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on the eighth playoff hole on Sunday to defeat fellow American Kramer Hickok and win the US PGA Travelers Championship.
“We were grinding out there, making those six- and seven-footers. That was incredible. What an experience. The fans are always awesome here. Glad we gave them a good little show.” “It was just a hard-fought battle out there,” Hickok said. “Played tough. He battled so hard. There were times I put him in a tough spot, he put me in a tough spot, and he came out on top and he’s a true champion.
English blasted from a fairway bunker to just outside six feet of the cup while Hickok’s approach went just off the green. Hickok rolled his putt 20 feet past the hole but made the comeback putt for par as the crowd roared and chanted his name. This time, Hickok two-putted from 22 feet and English had a 20-foot birdie putt to win, which he sank, sparking a right fist pump in celebration and ending the longest playoff in nine years.
Australia’s Marc Leishman was third on 268 after a closing 64 with Mexico’s Abraham Ancer fourth on 269.
