SEA ISLAND (AFP) - Robert Streb rolled in a birdie putt on the second playoff hole to beat two others and claim his first USPGA Tour win at The McGladrey Classic on Sunday.
The 27-year-old American defeated Zimbabwe s Brendon de Jonge and Will MacKenzie, of the US, in the $5.6 million event at the Seaside Course at Sea Island Resort.
Streb posted the low round of the day making birdie on four straight holes on the back nine for a seven-under 63. He got in first at 14-under-par 266. De Jonge carded a five-under 65, while MacKenzie shot two-under 68 to join Streb at 14-under.
They returned to the 18th hole for the playoff. MacKenzie found a greenside bunker with his approach before Streb and de Jonge hit the green with their second shots.
MacKenzie s par putt missed and after Streb and de Jonge two-putted for their pars, MacKenzie was knocked out.
On the second playoff hole, de Jonge hit his tee shot at the par-three 17th to about 20 feet. Streb then landed his tee ball within four feet. De Jonge s birdie try rolled past the edge.
Streb drained his birdie putt for his first US Tour win.
Last year s winner Chris Kirk carded a three-under 67 to move into a share of fourth place at 12-under. He was joined there by Ken Duke (66), Kevin Kisner (65) and Russell Henley (69).
Mark Wilson (67), Argentina s Fabian Gomez (68), Andrew Svoboda (71) and Kevin Chappell (65) tied for eighth place at 11-under-par 260.
