After finishing tied for first place on 12 under par, Koepka defeated fellow American and Smash GC teammate Peter Uihlein on the third play-off hole.

The par-five 18th, which the two replayed three times, cost Uihlein because he kept finding sand there. Eventually, he found water out of a bunker, and Koepka made a birdie.
