Austin Smotherman claimed a second successive PGA Tour title after defeating Seamus Power in a play-off to win a weather-affected Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Smotherman and Power held a share of the 54-hole lead at Port Royal Golf Course, where Sunday's play was postponed due to strong winds before the final round was cancelled due to more poor weather. It left both players tied on 16 under and returning on Monday morning for a sudden-death play-off, with both players making par - in breezy conditions - on the first two extra holes on the par-three 16th.
The hole location was changed ahead of the next extra hole, where a Power bogey meant a two-putt par was enough for Smotherman to close out victory and add to his Bank of Utah Championship title earlier this month.

"Whatever things are going to be thrown at us, Zak [Williamson, caddie] and I were going to be on top of our game.
"Yesterday [Sunday] I felt like we handled everything pretty well and the tour has been great, communicating what's going to happen today for us. Once we got that news, it was nice to know what's going on. "To come out on top is a cherry on top of that, so pretty awesome." The PGA Tour heads to Mexico for the VidantaWorld Mexico Championship, beginning Thursday at Vidanta Vallarta and where Brian Campbell returns as defending champion.
