It pays to play well on the PGA Tour. Just ask this week’s winner, Luke List.

The 38-year-old won the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi via a five-way playoff with a clutch birdie on the first playoff hole, the par-4 18th. The win is the second of List’s career after he claimed the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open, also in a playoff.

For his efforts, List will take home the top prize of $1,476,000. Ben Griffin, Henrik Norlander, Scott Stallings and Ludvig Aberg each made par in the playoff and finished T-2, earning $549,400 a piece.

Luke List buries birdie putt to win five-way playoff and claim 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship

The win is List’s second on Tour and first since January 2022.

JACKSON, Miss. — Luke List stood nearby as PGA Tour rookie and Ryder Cup champion Ludvig Aberg sent the first putt of a five-man playoff toward the hole on No. 18 at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

When waiting to hit a 43-foot putt of your own, any help on a read is worthwhile.

So List watched, just like the fans gathered in the grandstands as the sun set behind Country Club of Jackson. Then, he stepped up and nailed the putt of a lifetime.

The crowd erupted before quickly silencing for the remaining three shots in the playoff. When Ben Griffin, Scott Stallings and Henrik Norlander missed their birdie attempts, the victory was sealed. For List, it secured his second career PGA Tour win and first since Jan. 29, 2022, when he won the Farmers Insurance Open in a playoff.

“This is why we play and compete,” List said afterward on the broadcast. “For these moments.”

List finished 18 under for the tournament after carding 2-under 70 on Sunday. He entered the final round four shots back of Griffin.

List opened his week with back-to-back rounds of 66 and shot 68 on Saturday. It seemed like he’d come up shot of victory Sunday. However, with Griffin carding a pair of bogeys across his final three holes, the field opened up for a five-man playoff — the first on the PGA Tour since 2017.

“I thought I played really well all day and just hung in there,” List said. “I didn’t think it was going to be enough, but here we are. I’m so happy to be here.”

List was so convinced that his tournament was over at the end of regulation that he gave his hat to a kid while walking off the No. 18 green. However, as Griffin started to let the lead slip, List realized he needed the hat back.

He found the kid, who was glad to let him wear it for the playoff. After the trophy presentation, the hat was rewarded to the kid again.

“I’ve got another hat in the locker room, so it wouldn’t have been the end of the world,” List said. “But that one did me right.”

List’s 4-year-old daughter Ryann was the first to meet him on the 18th green after the playoff ended. His wife Chloe and his 2-year-old son Harrison, who was in the midst of enjoying a red lollipop, followed closely behind. As he lifted both kids, he leaned in to give Chloe a kiss.

As he leaned back, List’s eyes opened wide as he looked around at the scene.

“All my emotion came out after that putt, and then it was a shock − really, still is,” List said. “To have them there means everything.”

The Sanderson Farms Championship works closely with Friends of Children’s Hospital, which is a nonprofit organization benefiting Children’s of Mississippi − the state’s only children’s hospital.

That’s significant for List, whose son Harrison was born prematurely and battled health issues. The family, which resides in Augusta, Georgia, spent much of its time at Children’s Hospital of Georgia. Because of that, List took a break from play between mid-June and mid-July in 2021.

Now, he’s back on the PGA Tour, where he has collected two wins since his return, and his son is growing to love the game. Plus, the sport has now given them a Sanderson Farms Championship trophy — fittingly, a rooster — to take home.

“My daughter has been kind of on me (saying) it’s time to win another trophy,” List said. “She really enjoyed the surfboard at Torrey Pines. I told her earlier in the week there was a rooster or chicken or whatever you want to call it. She’s pretty excited.”

Carl Yuan is playing for an entire country at 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship

It’s something Carl Yuan carries on his shoulders.

JACKSON, Miss. –  It’s something Carl Yuan carries on his shoulders.

Yuan has the chance to become the first mainland Chinese-born player to earn a victory on the PGA Tour when he tees it up in the final pairing at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Yuan, 26, is the third mainland Chinese player to earn PGA Tour membership and enters the final round at 17 under, three shots behind leader Ben Griffin. Yuan and Griffin are scheduled to tee off in the final pairing at 2:50 p.m. Sunday at Country Club of Jackson.

“It means a great deal to me and my country,” said Yuan, who shot 5-under 67 in Saturday’s third round. “I’m looking forward to play great [on Sunday].”

Yuan joins Zecheng Dou and Li Haotong as mainland Chinese players to reach the PGA Tour. Dou also enters Sunday in contention after shooting 68 on Saturday. He’s tied for sixth with Cameron Champ at 15 under.

Who is Carl Yuan? Mainland Chinese players on PGA Tour

Yuan, who played his college golf at Washington, turned professional in 2018, two years after graduation. He won on the Korn Ferry Tour at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open in 2022 and the PGA Tour China at the Qingdao Championship in 2018. But a win on pro golf’s premier tour has been elusive in 29 career starts.

He’s not the only one. Li has made 45 starts on Tour, including a solo third finish at the 2017 Open Championship won by Jordan Spieth. Dou has one top-5 finish in 55 starts since 2018 and entered this week ranked 125th in the FedEx Cup Fall standings, the final slot to gain full Tour status for next season.

Yuan is at No. 151 in the standings, just outside the cutline for conditional status on Tour in 2024. A strong finish should put him safely in position to play more PGA Tour events next season.

“I would love to see more kids and players in China play on the big tour out here,” Yuan said. “I hope I can do what I can to help grow the game back there.”

How Carl Yuan played into contention at Sanderson Farms Championship

Yuan is strategic when showing his emotions, whether it’s an impressive two-putt from 30 feet — it received cheers from patrons watching from a nearby pavilion Saturday — or a chip from the fringe that scurried past the whole, making him wish he could have that shot back.

Yuan’s calm and relaxed demeanor has paced his game this week in Mississippi. Through three rounds, he led the field with 20 birdies and was in the top 10 with just three bogeys. He was also 3-for-3 on sand saves and hasn’t carded a double-bogey or worse this week.

“That’s something I’ve been working on,” he said. “Accept good and bad shots. Just stay focused on the next one and move on.”

For example, Yuan caught a break on No. 18 on Saturday when his second shot from the rough hit the grandstand, caught a favorable bounce and landed on the fringe. Yuan went on to two-putt and save par.

“I got lucky that I hit the right grandstand,” he said, smiling. “So it was definitely a break there.”

He might need a few more breaks Sunday to chase down Griffin and secure his first win on the PGA Tour. He doesn’t expect to be fazed.

“My early success (on other tours) will definitely help me going into (the final round),” Yuan said. “I know what I need to do to just focus on my game. To stay committed and be patient and we’ll see how it turns out.”

Rookie Ben Griffin leads by three at the Sanderson Farms Championship as he looks for first PGA Tour win

Griffin tied for 24th at last year’s Sanderson Farms.

In 2021, Ben Griffin was working as a loan officer for a mortgage group in North Carolina. Fast forward two years, and he’s 18 holes away from being a PGA Tour winner.

Griffin, using a bogey-free 6-under 66 on Saturday, leads the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship at The Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi by three shots at 20 under. Carl Yuan is alone in second at 17 under after a 5-under 67 on Day 3.

The 27-year-old Griffin made a trio of birdies on both nines during his third round and made several clutch saves along the way. He was feeling it with the flat stick, confidently walking in putts as his lead continued to grow.

“Very proud of myself the way I stuck to the game plan,” Griffin said after signing his card, “and I missed a few tee shots on the back nine but was able to escape, and that’s always been one of the strengths of my career.

“As much as I want to be aggressive, I’ve learned on the PGA Tour you’ve got to be extremely disciplined. It’s fun when I mis-hit shots because it gives me the opportunity to pull off something creative, but it’s a lot more fun when you have stress-free golf, and I felt like I did a good job of that for probably 14, 15 holes today.”

Sanderson Farms: Sunday tee times, how to watch

Tied for third are Scott Stallings (7-under 65), Henrik Norlander (4-under 68) and Luke List (4-under 68).

“I feel really comfortable here, and the course is only going to get a little bit faster as it goes along, but I still think it would be very receptive, and the scores will continue to be good,” Stallings told the media after his round.

Final-round coverage will air on Golf Channel from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. ET Sunday.

Inspired by Ryder Cup, Henrik Norlander off to hot start at Sanderson Farms Championship

“Being on a winning Ryder Cup team is like winning a major.”

Henrik Norlander’s wife and two kids rank in the top 3 in terms of importance in his life. But for the Swedish golfer who walked off the course at the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship on Thursday atop the leaderboard with a score of 7-under 65, there’s a clear No. 4 on that list:

The Ryder Cup.

“Growing up in Sweden, it’s like everything,” Norlander said after his first round at the Country Club of Jackson. “You can probably see when you watch it − I’m not saying the Americans don’t care. They do. But we just were born that way. Being on a winning Ryder Cup team is like winning a major.”

Norlander wasn’t part of last week’s winning European team, but he watched from afar. He says the scenes and success only inspired him more to make a future roster, and he came out in Mississippi on a mission.

Norlander birdied the second and third holes before seven consecutive pars. His second shot on No. 11 traveled 236 yards to land within 14 feet of the pin on the par 5, setting up a two-putt birdie.

On the par-4 12th, he drained a birdie putt from nearly 40 feet, then made it three straight birdies with a putt from 8 feet on No. 13. Norlander capped his sizzling back nine with a chip-in eagle on the par-5 14th.

“It’s easy to say, but the last two years I haven’t played great golf, and I haven’t really been in the right head space,” Norlander said. “You put a lot of pressure on yourself. My attitude was good today. I felt very calm. I didn’t get too up… The only shot that matters is the next one. It’s boring, but if you can do that, it really makes it easier.”

Norlander hasn’t finished in the top 10 this season, and he’s recorded just five top-25 finishes. He’s missed the cut in three of his last four events entering Mississippi.

The struggles come as Norlander continues to work back from an injury suffered two years ago before the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. Norlander hid behind a couch while playing hide-and-seek with his 18-month-old son. When his son found him, Norlander couldn’t get into a, “vertical position” for about 48 hours.

“Then I went to New York to play the first playoff event hurting a lot, and that’s sort of where I think it started, without really catching it,” Norlander said of his struggles. “I started lifting on the way back, and you do it enough times, it becomes the norm. It’s taken a long time. We have a nine month old at home and a three and a half year old. They’ve been keeping me pretty happy, but this game humbles you pretty big time.”

A familiar face finished his first round just behind Norlander. Matt NeSmith, who shot 66 thanks to four birdies and an eagle, and Norlander share a coach in Gary Cressend.
