LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) \u2014 Steven Fisk outlasted Taylor Pendrith in the ISCO Championship on Sunday for his second PGA Tour title, two-putting for par on the third hole of a playoff.<\/p>\n
Fisk closed with a 3-under 67 in cloudy and breezy conditions at Hurstbourne Country Club to match Pendrith at 16-under 264.<\/p>\n
Played opposite the Scottish Open, the event was sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the European tour. The 29-year-old Fisk gets into the PGA Championship but not the Masters next year. Last October, he won the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi for his first PGA Tour title.<\/p>\n
\u201cKind of feel like all the work I\u2019ve been putting in paid off,\u201d Fisk said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a frustrating year trying to back up that first win. I\u2019ve showed some pretty good signs of some solid golf, but haven\u2019t really had that opportunity to win a golf tournament that I\u2019ve been kind of craving. It was unbelievable to get it done again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pendrith finished with a 65. The 35-year-old Canadian was trying to win for the second time on the tour.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, it\u2019s quite disappointing, but a ton of positives this week,\u201d Pendrith said.<\/p>\n
On the final trip down the par-4 18th, Fisk made a 3-foot par putt after splitting the fairway and hitting to 28 feet. Pendrith drove into a fairway bunker, left his approach well short and missed a 10-foot par try.<\/p>\n
On the first extra hole, Pendrith raced a 9-foot birdie try 4 feet past.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been struggling a lot with the putter this year,\u201d Pendrith said. \u201cCouldn\u2019t really feel my hands at all on both of those putts.\u201d<\/p>\n
They scrambled for pars on the second, with Fisk going from bunker to bunker and blasting out to 3 feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my opinion the playoffs are a little easier, there\u2019s less nerves,\u201d Fisk said. \u201cYou\u2019ve already locked up a great finish, there\u2019s not really a whole lot to lose. You\u2019re just going out there trying to win and it\u2019s either going to be you or the other guy. I think that\u2019s almost calming in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Canadian Ben Silverman and Aaron Wise were a stroke out the playoff. Silverman closed with a 66, and Wise shot 69.<\/p>\n
Lucas Glover, atop the leaderboard after each of the first three rounds, had a 71 to tie for fifth at 14 under with Davis Chatfield (66) and Kristoffer Ventura (66).<\/p>\n
\u201cJust too many mistakes,\u201d Glover said. \u201cI didn\u2019t do anything really well today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Auburn star Jackson Koivun closed with a 67 to tie for 10th at 12 under. He missed the cut last week in his professional debut.<\/p>\n
