American Austin Smotherman claimed his second win of the season.

Smotherman won the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, a PGA Tour Fall Series event with a total purse of $6 million, in a playoff on Oct. 26 (Korea time) at Port Royal Golf Course (par 71) in Southampton, Bermuda. He captured his second career title, three weeks after winning the Bank of Utah Championship on Oct. 5. The winner's share was $1.08 million (about 1.4 billion won).

The tournament was shortened to 54 holes because of strong winds exceeding 40 miles per hour (about 64 kilometers per hour). Smotherman and Seamus Power of Ireland, who were tied for the lead at 16 under par (197) through three rounds, began their playoff at 9 a.m. local time. Smotherman made par on the third playoff hole, which resumed on the 16th (par 3), while Power bogeyed, giving Smotherman the victory.

Noh Seung-yul finished tied for 17th. Ranked 181st in the FedExCup standings, Noh must finish in the top 100 in one of the four remaining Fall Series events to secure a PGA Tour card for next year.
