PGA Tour rookie Vincent Norrman wins playoff to win Barbasol Championship

In more ways than one, Vincent Norrman was lucky man on Sunday afternoon...

The American scrambled to get onto the final green at Keene Trace Golf Club in Kentucky, then lipped in a bogey to finish on 22 under and secure a playoff with Englishman Nathan Kimsey.

Heading back down the par four 18th once again, Kimsey failed to find the fairway. From there, he landed flush in a greenside bunker which he failed to get out of, handing the advantage firmly to Norrman, who rolled in for his par and maiden PGA Tour title.

"I don't think I can process this for a while... I'm lost for words," quipped the 25-year-old, as per ESPN.

"It's been a crazy week and obviously today, the first nine was almost flawless. Yeah, how I finished the front nine I'm really proud of, then hung in there on the back. I'm happy to be sitting here."

In a heartwarming moment, Norrman's girlfriend Frida Kinhult surprised him on the green after the win. Just hours earlier, the LPGA Tour player finished T36 at the Dana Open in Ohio and travelled over 300 miles to meet her beloved.

Meanwhile, Kimsey was philosophical about his runner-up finish in his debut PGA Tour event.

"I feel like I barely missed a shot all day," said the 30-year-old.

"Holed a few nice putts and just kind of did a really good job of executing kind of the whole back nine and keep pushing really. Yeah, like I can't complain about anything I did today."
