WITB for Emiliano Grillo, 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge winner at Colonial Country Club? With a full set of Callaway, Cobra wedges and his Odyssey putter, Emiliano won with birdie in the second hole of the playoff. Getting there was both entertaining and sad. Grillo had a two-shot lead when he sliced his drive into the concrete ditch on 18.
A memorable twist of fate for Grillo’s ball, it was caught by the water and traveled nearly 300 yards almost back to the tee. With fans standing by and humorously shouting “stop,” “bite,” “mark it;” Grillo chose the option to take a drop at where the ball last crossed into the hazard. Another surprise, Grillo opted to drop on the cart path, which was outside the hazard, helping him punch underneath a tree branch and back into the fairway. He ended with double bogey dropping back to a 3-way tie.
Harry Hall, a PGA Tour rookie who led most of the tournament, was also tied at -8 under. In the last group with Schenk, Hall finished bogey after pulling his drive into the water. Schenk got his par. This left Schenk and Grillo for the playoff.
