Adam Svensson won his first Korn Ferry Tour event in more than two years Sunday at the Club Car Championship after surviving a playoff with Max McGreevy.
Svensson shot a final-round 6-under 66 at The Landings Club in Savannah, Georgia, to finish 72 holes with the lead at 17 under until McGreevy, who finished Sunday a 2-under 70, birdied his final two holes Sunday to send the tournament into a playoff.
In the playoff, Svensson and McGreevy each missed a birdie putt on the first playoff hole, the par-5 18th. On the second playoff hole, McGreevy wasn’t able to match Svensson’s birdie to further extend the playoff, handing Svensson the win.
Svensson, 27, last won on the Korn Ferry Tour at the 2018 Bahamas Great Abaco Classic at The Abaco Club.
Finishing one shot back in third at 16 under were George Cunningham, Shad Tuten and Brett Coletta. Taylor Moore finished in solo sixth at 15 under followed by Dawson Armstrong, Zecheng Dou and Carl Yuan – who tied for low round of the day with 8-under 64 – at 14 under in seventh. Six golfers rounded out the top-10 at 13 under.
