Kevin Na survives mistakes to win in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kevin Na lost a three-shot lead on the back nine, saved his chances with a clutch par putt on the 17th hole and won the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in a playoff Sunday when Patrick Cantlay three-putted the second extra hole.
It was a wild finish at the TPC Summerlin made possible mainly by Na’s mistakes.
He chopped his way to a triple bogey on the 10th hole. He hit into the water on the par-5 16th and made bogey.
He closed with a 1-under 70.
Cantlay lost his late lead with a tee shot in the water on the 17th, and he lost the playoff by missing a par putt from just under 6 feet.
