GOLF NEWS - Japan's Satoshi Kodaira birdied the third playoff hole to defeat South Korea's Kim Si-woo and win the Heritage tournament on Sunday for his first US PGA Tour victory.
The 28-year-old from Tokyo had won six times on the Japan Tour, most recently at last November's Taiheiyo Masters, but captured the biggest title of his career with a birdie at the par-3 17th at Harbour Town in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
World number 46 Kodaira was coming off his best major showing, and what had been his top US result, with a share of 28th at last week's Masters.
Kim and Kodaira both finished 72 holes at 12-under-par 272, one stroke ahead of Americans Luke List and Bryson DeChambeau with Billy Horschel and Webb Simpson on 274.
