Tony Finau edges Cameron Smith in New Jersey play-off

Tony Finau took his second PGA Tour title with a play-off win over Cameron Smith at The Northern Trust.

The final round of the tournament in New Jersey was pushed into Monday after Hurricane Henri headed towards the north-eastern US coast and the result was delayed as Finau and Smith both finished on 20-under.

Australian Smith twice made back-to-back birdies on the back nine to recover after a double bogey on the fifth to card a four-under 67, while Finau went birdie-eagle-birdie on holes 12-14 to help himself to a six-under 65 to grab a share of the lead after 72 holes.

Smith’s tee shot on the first playoff hole — the 18th — landed out of bounds, and Finau carded a par four to take the title.

Overnight leader Jon Rahm shot a 69 to finish third, while Alex Noren, Tom Hoge and Justin Thomas were tied for fourth on 15 under.

Ireland’s Shane Lowry was tied for 11th after his one-over round of 72 moved him to 12-under for the tournament, Lee Westwood was tied for 27th on nine under, a shot ahead of Ian Poulter and two ahead of Rory McIlroy.

For Séamus Power, it was more of a nervy affair. With only the leading 70 players on the standings progressing to the no cut BMW, Power had started the tournament in 73rd place and spent much of the final round outside the bubble only for the recent Barbasol Championship winner to rally late on: having turned in level par, after starting on the 10th, Power reeled off birdies on the second (from eight feet and the Par 5 sixth and eighth holes to move up to 69th and within the special number as he played his finishing hole, the tough Par 4 ninth.

But, there, Power missed the green with his approach and then chipped to 10 feet, requiring the par putt to stay inside the top-70 and plan his onward journey to Caves Valley in Baltimore.

Unfortunately for Power, he missed the putt and that bogey - for a closing 69 for 276 - had the effect of dropping him outside. At the time of signing his card, he was in 71st and his playoff dreams were ended.
