AVONDALE, La.
Brian Stuard beat Jamie Lovemark on the second hole of a playoff Monday to capture his first PGA Tour win at the water-logged Zurich Classic.
Stuard never bogeyed a hole throughout the tournament on the long (7,425- yard), par-72 TPC Louisiana course, which was drenched with more than 4 1/2 inches of rain during the tournament. Weather delays on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday not only forced a Monday finish but also led officials to shorten the tournament to 54 holes.
Lovemark, Stuard and Byeong-Hun An entered the playoff at 15 under par.
