Byrd ace lands Vegas title

Jonathan Byrd secured his fourth PGA Tour title in spectacular fashion as he aced the fourth play-off hole in near-darkness to win the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas overnight.

Byrd finished level with Scottish defending champion Martin Laird and Australia’s Cameron Percy on 21 under par over 72 holes to force the play-off and after three extra holes failed to separate the players, the man from South Carolina settled it with a 204-yard hole-in-one at the par-three 17th.
