Aaron Rai wins Wyndham Championship in darkness as leader implodes down stretch
Aaron Rai claimed his maiden PGA Tour title in dramatic fashion at the Wyndham Championship, capitalizing on a late implosion by 54-hole leader Sepp Straka.
Rai began the final round three strokes off the pace, but a flawless 62 on Sunday saw him reach 16-under par, forcing a playoff with Straka. Straka, who had held a four-shot advantage with seven holes to play, faltered down the stretch, bogeying the 17th and 18th holes to hand Rai the victory.
Play was suspended due to darkness after the first playoff hole, with Rai holding a one-shot lead. The Englishman returned on Monday morning to secure the win with a par on the second extra hole.
