Rocket Classic Final Round: Aldrich Potgieter lands first PGA Tour title in five-hole playoff
Rocket Classic 2025 Final Scores: South Africa's Aldrich Potgieter, 20, enters the record books with a first PGA Tour title at the Rocket Classic.
Aldrich Potgieter won his first PGA Tour title at the Rocket Classic in a playoff over Max Greyserman.
Potgieter, 20, drained a 15 footer for birdie on the fifth playoff hole, the par-3 15th.
He becomes the youngest ever PGA Tour winner from South Africa.
Potgieter also becomes the fifth International-born player under the age of 21 to win on the PGA Tour, joining Seve Ballesteros, Rory McIlroy, Joaquin Niemann and Tom Kim.
Greyserman was left to pick up the fourth agonising runner-up finish of his PGA Tour career.
Chris Kirk was also in the playoff but he was eliminated when making bogey on the second playoff hole.
Potgieter, Greyserman and Kirk finished the week on 22-under par.
Michael Thorbjornsen and Jake Knapp also had their chances on Sunday but ended up one shot shy of the playoff in a tie for fourth.

Matsuyama into T2
Matsuyama -17 (7)
It's a fourth birdie of the day for Matsuyama, who moves to 17-under par.

65s for Higgs and Bhatia

Brilliant low rounds of the day for both Higgs and Bhatia, who nip round Detroit GC in 7-under 65s.

Bradley cards a 5-under 67 - his best of the week - to move to 12-under par for the tournament.
He's going to have a big decision to make soon as to whether he acts as a playing captain or whether he just remains captain.
Plenty of players have voiced their approvals for Bradley to become the first playing captain of a Ryder Cup team since Arnold Palmer in 1963.
