Honolulu, January 18 Argentina’s Fabian Gomez clinched his second PGA Tour title with a gripping playoff victory over Brandt Snedeker at the Sony Open in Honolulu, Hawaii on Sunday after producing a clutch birdie-birdie finish in regulation. Gomez, who had squandered a two-stroke lead with six holes to play, comfortably two-putted for birdie on the second extra hole at Waialae Country Club where Snedeker narrowly missed his attempt from 10 feet. Both Gomez, from 15 feet, and Snedeker, from 12, had earlier missed birdie putts on the first extra hole, also the 18th. The duo had finished the 72 regulation holes at 20-under 260, Snedeker carding a four-under 66 and Gomez signing off with a scintillating 10-birdie 62. Zac Blair led by two shots after eight holes and stayed in contention before finishing alone in third at 19 under with a closing 67. A wildly fluctuating final round at Waialae effectively boiled down to a three-horse race between Gomez, Snedeker and Blair. Snedeker and Blair stumbled early with bogeys at the par-three fourth, before Blair made his move with birdies at the fifth, seventh and eighth, where he drained a 20-footer, to forge two strokes clear at 18 under. Gomez, however, was steadily putting together a red-hot run on the back of sharp approach play and seven consecutive birdies from the sixth gave him a two-shot cushion at 20 under. Both Gomez, with bogeys at 13 and 14, and Blair slipped back into a three-way share of the lead with Snedeker, who sank an eight-footer to birdie 14. All three produced some exhilarating golf over the closing holes. Snedeker struck a brilliant approach to three feet to set up a birdie on 16 and edge one ahead, before Gomez got back into contention by sinking a 10-footer on 17 followed by a sensational 22-foot putt from just off the green on 18. Blair missed an eagle attempt from 10 feet at the last that would have got him into the playoff, and Snedeker got up and down from just short of the green to birdie 18 before his usually lethal putting let him down on the extra holes.
