To see that putt go in, it was pretty special.โIt was the third time Laird has been in a playoff in Las Vegas, all of them involving three players.

Didn't hit it my best, but I put it in the right spots a lot of the times today.โAmong early starters, DeChambeau had a one-shot lead over Harold Varner III and Austin Cook. DeChambeau easily reached the 314-yard 15th hole, the start of a dynamic finishing stretch at the TPC Summerlin. It was the perfect recipe for Las Vegas, with the warm desert air and barely a breath of wind.
