​SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — In a dramatic finish at the ISCO Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, Steven Fisk of Georgia Southern captured his second career PGA Tour victory by winning on the third playoff hole on Sunday. Fisk, who entered the final round two shots off the lead, posted a 67 to force a playoff with Taylor Pendrith, who tied for the lowest round of the day with a 65, matching five other golfers in producing the best score of the final round.
The decisive moment came on the third playoff hole when Fisk’s opponent slipped, and the misfortune opened the door for Fisk to seize the title. After both players had parred the first two extra holes, Pendrith attempted to extend the playoff with a birdie putt but pushed it, leaving him with a bogey. Fisk, meanwhile, rolled in a three-foot par putt to seal the championship.
With the victory, Fisk earned a substantial payday, taking home $720,000, which represents 18 percent of the $4 million purse. Beyond the prize money, the victory also brings significant career implications. Fisk secured an exemption to the 2027 PLAYERS Championship, in addition to an exemption to the PGA Championship, marking his second appearance in a major championship. However, the win does not grant him an exemption to the 2027 Masters Tournament.
This victory adds to Fisk’s growing resume, following his first PGA Tour win at the Sanderson Farms Championship in October 2025. The back-to-back major considerations and high-stakes playoff finish at the ISCO Championship underscore Fisk’s rising trajectory on the PGA Tour and his ability to close under pressure on tough, late-stage courses.
The ISCO Championship in Louisville provided a thrilling stage for Fisk to showcase his steady ball-striking, clutch putting, and composure in high-pressure scenarios. Fisk’s final-round performance, combined with the playoff heroics, demonstrated his capacity to compete with the game’s elite and to convert opportunities when they matter most.
As Fisk revels in the win and the fresh opportunities that come with major championship exemptions, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how his momentum translates into continued success on tour. The victory not only cements Fisk’s status as a rising star in American golf but also reinforces the excitement surrounding the next events on the PGA Tour schedule, where Fisk aims to build on this milestone victory and potentially challenge for more titles in the upcoming seasons.
