PHOENIX – One unforgettable shot made a winner out of Jeff Maggert – and Scott McCarron.
Maggert was 123 yards away in the 17th fairway, the third playoff hole in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, needing to beat Retief Goosen to end more than four years without winning on the PGA Tour Champions.
McCarron was in the clubhouse, needing Maggert to win for him to capture the Schwab Cup and its $1 million bonus.
Maggert delivered for both with one swing.
His shot landed just short of the pin, took a soft bounce and disappeared into the cup for an eagle to beat Goosen and hand McCarron the season points title.
