Emiliano Grillo wins the Charles Schwab Challenge

(Fort Worth) Argentinian Emiliano Grillo won the Charles Schwab Challenge, his first title in eight years on the North American PGA Tour, beating American Adam Schenk on the second hole of the playoffs Sunday in Fort Worth ( Texas).

The 30-year-old Grillo spooked himself on that last lap as he was on his way to victory, before committing a double bogey at no 18 that brought Schenk back to his height.

Two holes decided between them, the Argentinian having managed to make a birdie on the No. 16 unlike his opponent who had to settle for par.

“It was a real adventure. It reminds me of where I come from. It reminds me of my family… They say the second title is harder to win than the first. It really was,” said Grillo, who won the Frys.com Open in 2015, beating American Kevin Na, already with a birdie on the second hole of the playoffs.

The only other Argentinian to win this tournament was Roberto De Vicenzo in 1957, the first non-American to do so.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who made a hole in one, shared third place with England rookie Harry Hall.
