Cantlay Defends Title In First Repeat Playoff Win
BMW Championship - Cantlay Defends Title In First Repeat Playoff Win

Defending FedEx Cup playoff champion Patrick Cantlay won his second consecutive BMW Championship to become the first player to successfully defend a PGA Tour playoff title.

The world number four recovered from a two-stroke deficit on the back nine to defeat US compatriot Scott Stallings thanks to a key break and clutch putting. He fired a two-under-par 69 to finish 72 holes at Wilmington Country Club on 14-under 270 and edge Stallings by a stroke.

Stallings shared the lead with Cantlay when he dropped his approach nine feet from the cup at 18, but missed the pressure-packed birdie putt and settled for a closing par.
