Emiliano Grillo wins second PGA Tour title in Texas

Emiliano Grillo won his second PGA Tour title after beating Adam Schenk on a playoff double hole, while English golfer Harry Hall finished tied for third at Texas on Sunday.

The Argentine was two shots ahead and seemed poised to win the Charles Schwab Challenge at Fort Worth’s Colonial Golf Course.

But the 30-year-old double bogeyed the final hole, providing an opportunity for Schenk to return to contention, looking to win his first PGA Tour title.

Grillo hit his drive into a small stream on the final hole that rolled the ball back 150 yards before coming to rest against a rock.

He decided to take a penalty kick and two-putted from 20 yards to level with Schenk.

Schenk parred the final hole, while English PGA Tour rookie Harry Hall needed a par on the final hole to compete in the playoff.

Hall hit a bogey on the final hole after landing his drive on the water and finished tied for third with world number one Scott Scheffler of the United States at seven under par.

Grillo hit a five-foot birdie putt to claim the title on the second hole of the playoffs to earn his first tour win in more than seven years, finishing the tournament at eight-under-par 68 on his final day.

Grillo’s last win was at Napa in 2015 and he has had four top-10 finishes this season.

American Adam Schenk finished second for the second time this season and is still looking for his first victory on tour.

The 25-year-old Hall was leading after days one and two but was unable to hold the lead with two birdies and five bogeys on Sunday.

England’s Aaron Rei and Justin Rose finished tied for 12th at 3-under.
