Vincent Norrman became the second Swede on Sunday to win at the highest level.
A couple hours after Linn Grant won on the LPGA for the first time, Norrman won his first PGA Tour event, claiming the 2023 Barbasol Championship.
Norrman bogeyed the par-4 18th to finish at 22 under and he was shaky from tee to green on the closing hole. Nonetheless, he made a putt when he needed to in order to force some extra golf and when they replayed the 18th on the first hole of the playoff against Nathan Kimsey, Norrman parred it while Kimsey posted a bogey.
Norrman started the day a shot back but shot a final-round 66 – including 30 on his front nine – to post his ninth straight under par round.
“I don’t think I can process this for a while. I’m lost for words,” he said of winning the tournament. “It’s amazing.”
Norrman won $684,000 for winning the opposite-field event. In 22 previous starts on the Tour, his career earnings were $789,768.
