Will Gordon is headed back to the PGA Tour after prevailing in a playoff at the Albertsons Boise Open, the first of three Korn Ferry Tour Finals events.
Gordon defeated Philip Knowles and M.J. Daffue on the first extra hole. The former Vanderbilt star closed in 63 and waited nearly two hours to see if his 21-under total would suffice.
Knowles led by one shot while playing the 72nd hole, but made bogey to shoot 70 and fall into a tie at the end of regulation with Gordon and Daffue (65).
Going back to the 18th hole, Gordon was the only player among the trio to make par and claimed his maiden KFT win – and also, a return trip to the big leagues.
