Harris English and Kramer Hickok battled to the end for the Travelers Championship title but Harris ultimately won with a birdie at the eighth playoff hole following pars on the first seven.
The eight hole playoff also matched the second longest sudden death playoff in Tour history and had happened five times previously. The current record is eleven holes in the 1949 Motor City Open when Lloyd Mangrum and Cary Middlecoff agreed to share the victory due to darkness.
