It wasn't easy though. Love buried this chip in at 18 to finish at 13-under par. After his round of 68 Love waited as Woody Austin played out.
Austin shows some skill as well putting his chip close enough to save par, forcing a playoff.
Neither player was on his game in the playoff, but finally on the fourth hole of sudden death, Love fires a dart at the flag--to within about three and a half feet. Davis Love the Third wins his third event of the year and the 17th of his career.
