Fisk outlasts Pendrith in playoff to win PGA Tour Louisville title
Steven Fisk rolled in a short par putt at the third playoff hole to top Taylor Pendrith and capture his second US PGA Tour title at the ISCO Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday.
Fisk got up and down for par from greenside bunkers at each of the first two playoff holes and sealed the win with a two-putt par as Canada's Pendrith made a bogey after finding a fairway bunker off the tee.
"It's what we play for," Fisk said. "I could give a damn about finishing 60th in a golf tournament. This is what I want to do."
Pendrith matched the low round of the day with a five-under par 65 that put him first in the clubhouse on 16-under 264.
Fisk nabbed four birdies in a three-under 67 to join him and both parred the first playoff hole, where Fisk salvaged par from a greenside bunker as Pendrith two-putted from nine feet.
Both saved par at the second playoff hole before Fisk clinched the win he called a "vindication" after his first title in Jackson, Mississippi, last year.
That win, he said, was "kind of out of nowhere. I feel like I've shown spurts of some better golf this year but haven't been able to sustain it.
"So to come out here today and grind my butt off is pretty special."
Canadian Ben Silverman and American Aaron Wise shared third on 15-under 265.
Silverman climbed the leaderboard with a four-under 66 while Wise signed for a 69.
Former US Open champion Lucas Glover started the day with a one-stroke lead but carded a one-over par 71 to finish tied for fifth on 14-under.
