Rocco Mediate beats Bob Estes in playoff to win Furyk & Friends

Rocco Mediate saved par on the second playoff hole to put away Bob Estes and win the Constellation Furyk & Friends on Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla.

After a back-and-forth final round, 72 holes weren't enough to separate Mediate and Estes and they replayed the par-4 18th hole at Timuquana Country Club.

They both managed par the first time through, but Estes' tee shot on the second play-through found a fairway bunker, and his sand shot hit the rough. Mediate was on the green in two and two-putted for the triumphant par.

Mediate, 61, won his fifth title on the PGA Tour Champions and his first since 2019.

Mediate and Estes began the day tied for the lead with a three-shot advantage on the field. They were tied through 11 holes before Mediate birdied Nos. 12 and 13 and Estes bogeyed No. 14.

The last four holes were even busier: Mediate bogeyed the par-5 15th while Estes went birdie-birdie at Nos. 15 and 16, erasing the three-stroke gap between them. Mediate rolled in a birdie putt at the par-3 17th but bogeyed No. 18, as both players wrapped up 1-under-par 71s to finish tied at 12-under 204.

Australian Greg Chalmers shot a 4-under 68 to get to 10 under and finished alone in third place. South Africa's Retief Goosen fired a 5-under 67 to move to 9 under, ending the tournament tied for fourth with Scott McCarron (68), Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke (69), Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee (69), Jason Caron (70) and Tim Petrovic (70).
