Cameron Smith came from three shots back, including a two-shot deficit with two holes to play, to defeat Branden Steele in a playoff to capture the Sony Open in Hawaii on Sunday night, Smith’s first individual victory on the PGA Tour.
Smith finished par-birdie to erase Steele’s two-shot cushion over the final two holes, and following Steele’s missed par putt on the first playoff hole, Smith only needed to two-putt from inside 15 feet to claim the victory.
For Smith, he takes home the $1,188,000 winners check, and Steele’s struggles down the stretch ended up costing him not only the tournament but also $468,600.
