LOS ANGELES — Canada's Nick Taylor birdied the second playoff hole to defeat Colombia's Nico Echavarria and win the Sony Open in Hawaii on Sunday (Monday in Manila) for his fifth career US PGA Tour triumph.
Taylor holed out a 60-foot eagle chip-in on the 72nd hole of regulation while Echavarria birdied 16 and 18 to force extra holes at Honolulu's windy Waialae Country Club.
