Horschel tops Day in deflating Nelson playoff

Billy Horschel made par on the first extra hole Sunday to defeat Jason Day in a playoff and win the AT&T Byron Nelson. Here’s what went down in Las Colinas’ sendoff:

Leaderboard: Horschel (-12), Day (-12), James Hahn (-11), Jason Kokrak (-10), Danny Lee (-8), Sean O’Hair (-8), Ben An (-8), Bud Cauley (-8)

What it means: This is Horschel’s fourth PGA Tour win and his first since taking the Tour Championship and the FedExCup at East Lake in 2014. One back to start the day, Horschel carded five birdies against four bogeys for a 1-under 69 and a 72-hole total of 12-under 268, good enough for a playoff after he and Day both missed birdie putts on the final hole of regulation.
