Emiliano Grillo had an unforgettable day in the United States this Sunday. He is that champion of the Charles Schwab Challenge, in Fort Worth, Texasafter a dramatic finish, with a double bogey included on the last hole, and a narrow victory on the second playoff hole against the American Adam Schenk. This is the second title for the man from Chaco on the competitive PGA Tour.
Grillo, who had started the day in fourth place, completed the 72 holes of the Colonial Country Club in 272 shots (eight under par), the same figure as Schenk, who had a chance to win, but failed to lower his par from hole 18 .
The Argentine led by two strokes until the last hole, where he committed an incredible double bogey that forced him to play the playoffs, in which he finally prevailed. First they made par at 18 and then Grillo was relentless at par 3 at 16.
Grillo, who has already amassed five tournaments in the top ten this season and had won on this circuit just seven seasons ago in the Frys.com tournament, also emulated the legendary Roberto De Vicenzo, who had won this Texan course way back in 1957. .
