How much Emiliano Grillo and others made at Charles Schwab Challenge
Emiliano Grillo lands his first title in seven and half years on the PGA Tour.
Emiliano Grillo clinched his second career title on the PGA Tour and his first in seven and half years following playoff victory over Adam Schenk at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Grillo, 30, made a stunning birdie on the second extra hole, the par-3 16th, when sending an exquisite iron shot five feet away from the pin.
The Argentinian judged the yardage to perfection as his ball just landed over the bunker and it took the slope all the way down to the flag.
Schenk, 31, went long with his approach shot but played a miraculous chip shot to three feet, albeit it mattered little in the grand scheme of things when Grillo buried his winning putt.

Grillo held a two-stroke lead heading into the 72nd hole but he hit a wayward tee shot and made double bogey to bring Schenk back into the mix.
England's Harry Hall had a chance to join the playoff but he bogeyed the final hole to finish in a tie for third with World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, who holed just about nothing all week at Colonial.
Scheffler did make a stunning ace on the 8th in the final round, though - WATCH HERE
The win earns Grillo his biggest pay cheque to date on the PGA Tour with a whopping $1.566 million.
Schenk, who picked up his second runner-up finish of the season, takes home $948,300.
Scheffler and Hall collected $513,300.
