‘Ottawa’ Brock Mackenzie Wins National Capital Open in Playoff
The race to the finish line is usually a sprint, but it turned into a marathon at the National Capital Open to Support Our Troops at the Hylands Golf Club on Sunday.
And, after sinking a 15-foot birdie putt on the seventh hole to end the longest playoff in Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada history, American Brock Mackenzie summed up his third career win in two words.
“I’m exhausted,” said Mackenzie, 35, who makes his home in Scottsdale, Ariz.
On that front, he wasn’t alone, but give Mackenzie credit because he managed to battle through tough conditions — which included pouring rain and heavy winds at times — to beat out Spain’s Samuel Del Val and Canadian Adam Cornelson in the extra holes after the trio posted a minus-15 in regulation to force a playoff that looked like it would never end.
