The leaderboard down the stretch at the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship was tighter than a straitjacket, but one player was able to make some magic and break free for the win.
After 72 holes at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi, there was a five-way tie atop the leaderboard, setting up for the largest playoff on Tour since six players at the 2021 Wyndham Championship (won by Kevin Kisner).
Luke List (70) buried a birdie putt from outside 40 feet on the first sudden-death playoff hole, the par-4 18th, to claim his second PGA Tour victory following his maiden win at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open, which also came down to a playoff against Will Zalatoris.
The tournament’s 54-hole leader Ben Griffin (74), Henrik Norlander (70), Scott Stallings (70) and Ludvig Aberg (68) each made par in the playoff and finished T-2. Mark Hubbard (67), Carl Yuan (72) and Christian Bezuidenhout (68) missed out on the playoff by a single shot at 17 under and finished T-6.
