ROOKIE TED POTTER Jr has taken out his first title with a nervy play-off win over Troy Kelly at the Greenbrier Classic on Sunday.
The 28-year-old sealed the win with a four-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole, the par-three 18th, after Kelly had missed a longer attempt.
The pair were tied at 16-under-par overall before Potter let slip a golden opportunity to win at the second play-off hole, the par-five 17th. A relieved Potter had a birdie-putt for the win in his sights but the ball lipped out from five feet.
It was an impressive final day overall for Potter, who came from behind through a six-under 64 final round. South Korean Charlie Wi was two shots back at 14 under in equal third with American Charlie Beljan.
