JACKSON, Miss. – Mackenzie Hughes of Hamilton, Ont. and Sepp Straka of Vienna, Austria battled in an intense playoff Sunday at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi.

Both golfers finished the four-round tournament tied at 17-under-par and both parred the first playoff hole.

But Hughes prevailed on the second playoff hole with a birdie as the course got darker to win his second PGA title.
