HOW JEFF MAGGERT WON

Jeff Maggert brought the Charles Schwab Cup Championship to a stunning conclusion by holing out a 123-yard shot for an eagle on the third hole of a playoff to defeat Retief Goosen. The result meant Scott McCarron won the Charles Schwab Cup based on a season-long points list; Goosen would have captured it if he had won the playoff. “I’ve seen it happen. I never, ever thought it would happen to me,” said Maggert of the hole-out that gave him his first victory since 2015.

Maggert shot a 63 in the first round and led at the end of each round, but Goosen caught him with a 64 on Sunday that included birdies on the last two holes. Maggert had a 66, making an eight-foot birdie putt on 18 to force the playoff. Goosen missed a four-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole (No. 18), both birdied the 18th when it was played again in the playoff, and Maggert scored his eagle when the contest moved to No. 17.
