Barracuda Championship 2017: Chris Stroud Captures 1st-Ever PGA Tour Win

Chris Stroud prevailed in a three-man playoff at the 2017 Barracuda Championship at Montreux Golf & Country Club in Reno, Nevada, for his first career PGA Tour event victory.

He beat Richy Werenski and Greg Owen in Sunday's playoff after they all finished with 44 points in the Stableford scoring system, which rewards players with the highest point total. The tournament's official website explained a double eagle is worth eight points, an eagle is five, a birdie is two, a par is zero, a bogey is negative one and a double bogey or worse is negative three.
