Kyle Jones Wins Playoff To Claim Utah Championship

FARMINGTON, Utah – Baylor alum golfer Kyle Jones knocked off two others in a playoff round to win the Korn Ferry Tour Utah Championship on Sunday.

Jones, Paul Haley II and Utah native Daniel Summerhays all finished the final round at -20 for the tournament and went on to play in a playoff at Oakridge Country Club.

After the surge to be in contention to win the match, Summerhays came up short when he barely missed to cup on the first playoff hole and was eliminated. Meanwhile, Haley and Jones each picked up a par to move on to the second hole of the playoff.

Jones scored a birdie on the second hole to claim the Utah Championship.
