World number one Scottie Scheffler triumphed in a play-off at the Travelers Championship to secure his sixth PGA Tour victory of the season.
The conclusion of the final round was interrupted when a group of protesters ran to the 18th green while the final group was reading their putts.
When play resumed, Scheffler narrowly missed a birdie putt that would have clinched the victory, before South Korea’s Tom Kim converted his birdie attempt to force a two-man play-off.
Scheffler won on the first extra hole at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, becoming the first player since Arnold Palmer in 1962 to win six times before July.
“It’s pretty special,” Scheffler said. “It’s been a great season, I’ve been lucky to get some wins and it’s been a lot of fun.
“Tom played with heart and soul today. He is a great player, a great champion and it was fun to compete with him today.”
Scheffler and Kim finished tied at 22 under par after closing 65 and 66 respectively.
The pair returned to the 18th for the first extra hole, and Scheffler claimed par, while Kim couldn’t get up and down from a clogged lie in a greenside bunker.
