Steven Fisk captured his second PGA Tour title at the ISCO Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, winning on the third playoff hole with a delicate par putt after a hard-fought final round. He climbed atop the leaderboard following a resilient performance that saw him save par on greenside bunkers at both of the initial playoff holes and seal the victory with a two-putt par as a faltering Taylor Pendrith from Canada bogeyed after slipping into a fairway bunker off the tee.
“That’s what we play for,” Fisk said afterward. “I don’t care about finishing 60th in a tournament. This is what I want to do.”
Pendrith mirrored the course’s best round of the day with a five-under 65, leaving him at 16-under 264 on the week and first in the clubhouse. Fisk posted a three-under 67 that included four birdies, and the two players both parred the first playoff hole, where Fisk recovered from a greenside bunker to save par as Pendrith two-putted from nine feet. The two additional playoff holes again ended with pars for both before Fisk’s par on the third hole clinched the win, a moment he described as vindication following his first tour title in Jackson, Mississippi, last year.
That earlier triumph, Fisk noted, had felt “kind of out of nowhere.” He reflected that he’d shown flashes of better golf during the season but hadn’t managed to sustain it. Today’s performance, he said, involved grinding through every shot and staying patient, which made the victory feel especially meaningful.
Canadian Ben Silverman and American Aaron Wise shared the third-place spot at 15-under 265. Silverman moved up the board with a four-under 66 while Wise posted a 69. Former U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover began Sunday with a one-shot lead but finished in a tie for fifth at 14-under after a one-over 71.
