Grillo Wins in Rookie Debut at Silverado

NAPA, Calif. — Given another chance, Emiliano Grillo was determined not to let this one get away.

Seven months after he missed a 3-foot putt that cost him a victory in the Puerto Rico Open and a PGA Tour card, Grillo stood over a 3-foot putt to win the Frys.com Open in a playoff Sunday and was shocked to see it spin out of the left side of the cup.

"It was a very tough time coming back to the tee," Grillo said.

Moment later, he threw his arms in the air after making a 10-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to beat Kevin Na and win in his rookie debut on the PGA Tour.
