In order to stave off the challenge of American trio Pierceson Coody, Matt NeSmith, Zac Blair, and Rico Hoey of the Philippines, the 26-year-old Cornishman chipped in for a birdie at the third extra hole.
Hall’s wife Jordan is expected to give birth to their first child a few days before he wins $720,000 (£555,000) and 300 FedEx Cup points.
The deadline is this Friday. Just because I kind of needed to play more at one point in the FedEx Cup,” said Hall, who had only managed one top-25 result in 18 prior outings, “she’s due to induce on Tuesday.”
Because of her fame, she should now be able to pursue her interests.
“I think I can afford to miss the next week. My place in the FedEx Cup was a little precarious, and I might have needed to play every week, so I’m relieved that I might not have to now.”
It took a few hours to realize that none of the final groups could beat NeSmith and Blair, who had established the early standard for all five players in the play-off, who finished at 22 under par at Keene Trace Golf Club.
Blair realized he might be in a play-off based on the tournament coverage after he had already left the course, so he turned it out.
