Cameron Smith rolled in a short birdie putt on the fourth extra hole to clinch the win for himself and Jonas Blixt over Kevin Kisner and Scott Brown at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.A playoff that was pushed to Monday morning began slowly, with the teams combining for four pars apiece on the first three playoff holes. But on their third trip down No. 18 of the morning - with one stop at the ninth, along the way - Smith put a wedge from 59 yards to within a few feet and Kisner and Brown both missed mid-range birdie attempts."Seeing how he played golf, the sky's the limit for him," Blixt said of Smith. "Just watching these last four days, I haven't seen anything that good in an extremely long time."

Kisner had forced overtime in dramatic fashion with a 35-yard chip-in for eagle on the 72nd hole with darkness creeping in Sunday evening. It was Kisner's third chip-in of the final round and erased the last of the four-shot lead with which Blixt and Smith had begun the round. The winning team put together 76 straight holes at TPC Louisiana without making a bogey.This is Smith's first career PGA Tour victory at age 23, and it earns him a spot in next week's Players Championship. For Blixt, it's career win No. 3 and the first since The Greenbrier Classic in 2013.While the victory does not get either player into the Masters because of the team format, they are both now exempt into the PGA Championship as well as the Tournament of Champions in Maui. Smith and Blixt are now also fully exempt on Tour through the 2018-19 season.
I'm going to keep betting this one at majors until they stop offering plus money. Finau has hit the top 20 in four of the last five majors and is 7-for-12 overall for his career. Couple that with how well the lengthy Bethpage should suit his skill set and Finau should be in store for a solid week.

Olson acknowledged she waved off Jutanugarn's offer to go mark her ball.
