Video - Jonathan Byrd Hole in One

by Iver Maple on October 25, 2010

Mizuno player, Jonathan Byrd, won a three-man playoff with a hole-in-one on the fourth extra hole in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Moments earlier, Byrd stood on the 18th green with Martin Laird and Cameron Percy as they discussed whether there was enough light to continue. They agreed to play one more hole -- the 196-yard 17th at the TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas. Essentially the playoff ended one swing later.

A magnificent 6 iron which landed 10 feet short of the hole and rolled straight into the cup. Byrd won $774,000 for his first win since the 2007 John Deere.
