Ryan Palmer picked up his third PGA Tour title with a one-stroke victory over Robert Allenby in the Sony Open in Hawaii at Waialae Country Club.
Palmer and Allenby shared the lead coming into the final round and the American and Australian traded blows through Sunday’s play, Palmer eventually coming out on top on the 72nd green. Just short of the par-5’s putting surface in two, he over-hit his eagle chip. But, with the ball looking like it would run well past the hole, it careered into the pin and stopped just beside the cup. When Allenby failed to make his birdie chance, the title went to Palmer.
