Going down the last they were level with the Americans Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer, as well as the Norwegians Kristoffer Reitan and Kris Ventura, and when Alex found the bunker with his second on the concluding par five, a play-off looked almost certain.<\/p>\n
But at exactly the right time, Matt rediscovered his magical touch and from 35 yards, he splashed out from the sand to two feet.<\/p>\n
And Alex, who now has two-year exemption on the US circuit, suddenly had a choice to make. \u201cI\u2019m booked on a flight tonight to play in Turkey [in the DP World Tour] but I think this gets me into Miami [in the Cadillac Championship that starts at Trump Doral on Thursday],\u201d he said. \u201cIt is a great position to be in and it is so, so special to win this with my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n
For his part, Matt was typically humble, despite this being his third win on the PGA Tour this year and despite his extraordinary tournament-winning moment. \u201cI needed to do that on the last as I did nothing to help Alex coming in there on the back nine,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t describe what this feels like to win with my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Going down the last they were level with the Americans Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer, as well as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[18126,111,139,69,133879,2022,213,1177,162728],"class_list":["post-400310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-golf","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-pga-tour","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-standard","tag-us-content"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
