If the 2022 Wyndham Championship is anything like last year’s event, the fans in North Carolina are in for quite a treat.
Kevin Kisner made a four-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to end a six-man playoff at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro last year to claim his fourth PGA Tour title and defeat Branden Grace, Roger Sloan, Adam Scott, Si Woo Kim and Kevin Na. It was just the third time in Tour history and first time since 2001 that a tournament was decided in a six-man playoff.

Everybody comes and shows some support and follows me around,” said Poston, who’s hoping to feed off 2019 and his summer momentum to finish the season strong.
