Hall, along with Pierceson Coody and Matt NeSmith, had all missed the green at the par-three ninth, but Hall's brilliant chip rolled smoothly into the hole. “It’s massive,” Hall said, noting that the 300 FedEx Cup playoff points might allow him to take a week off with his wife, Jordan, who is expecting their first baby next week.

"I can probably afford to take the week off now," the 26-year-old Cornishman said. "I think it was a bit dicey there, just my position in the FedEx Cup and I probably needed to play every single week, so I'm glad that I might not have to now. Super happy."

Hall, NeSmith, and Coody all parred the par-four 18th on the second playoff hole, extending the playoff after Zac Blair and Rico Hoey were eliminated with bogeys on the first playoff hole. The five players had completed 72 holes at Keene Trace Golf Club with a 22-under 266 total.

Hall briefly took the lead at 23-under with his fourth birdie of the day on the 14th, the toughest hole on the course. However, a bogey on the par-five 15th, the easiest hole, led him to finish with a three-under 69. Hoey moved into the lead at 23-under after his fourth birdie on the 15th but fell back after a bogey on the 18th, where his second shot flew past the green and landed in the rocky edge of the water hazard.

"Four rounds in the 60s is all I can ask for and I thought I played great," said Hoey. "It kind of sucks on 18, but I hit a great shot, hit a great tee ball and hit a great second shot. Adrenaline's pumping, I've never really been in that situation where it like comes down to it."

Coody, who shot a brilliant 61 on Thursday and led after each of the first three rounds, made an eagle on the 11th hole but fell behind the leaders with a bogey on the 12th. He made a clutch 12-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to finish with a final-round 70 and secure a spot in the playoff.

NeSmith and Blair set the 22-under par target early in the day, each shooting an eight-under 64. It took a couple of hours before it became clear that no one from the final groups would surpass their score. Blair revealed that he was “halfway to Cincinnati” when he saw on the tournament coverage that he might be in a playoff, so he turned around and drove 40 minutes back to the course.

NeSmith had a chance to win at the first playoff hole with an eight-foot putt, but it missed on the right. At the second playoff hole, he had a good look for birdie but his 12-foot attempt rolled two feet past the hole. "I had two great opportunities on 18, that's all I can do," said NeSmith, who like all five players in the playoff was chasing a first PGA Tour title. "I can't be mad, I wouldn't have changed anything I did the entire way."
