It was monumentous for Potgieter as he outlasted Max Greyserman and Chris Kirk in the playoff. It was Greyserman who pushed Potgieter the most as they both made par on their first three holes and matched each other’s birdie on the fourth.

Since 1983, there has been just one teen to win on the PGA Tour. There are now six golfers who won as 20-year-olds. Tiger Woods won twice in his 20s as did Tom Kim and Nick Dunlap. Dunlap is also one of two amateurs to win a PGA Tour event.

DETROIT — Aldrich Potgieter made an 18-foot birdie putt on the fifth playoff hole, outlasting Max Greyserman to win the Rocket Classic on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title. The 20-year-old from South Africa is the youngest player on the tour and its biggest hitter. He became the ninth player to win for the first time this season.
