Gandon wins Club Car title in playoff
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — The 2025 Club Car Championship needed a 73rd hole to decide a champion on Sunday, April 6, at the Deer Creek Course at The Landings.
Jeremy Gandon, walked to the 18th green, 17 shots under par and tied with Rick Lamb, who was already in the clubhouse. Gandon missed about a 20-foot putt that would have won the tournament.
Instead, Gandon and Lamb entered into a sudden-death playoff. The competitors would replay the 18th hole until a champion was crowned.
Gandon's second shot landed in the greenside bunker. Lamb played the hole a little safer and was on in three shots. Lamb was away so he played first. His fourth shot was a birdie putt that was just a little off.
Gandon hit a beautiful shot out of the bunker on his third shot and tapped in for the victory. For Gandon, this was his first career victory on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Scheffler primed to win first U.S. Open
OAKMONT, Pa (WKBN) – Scottie Scheffler is currently ranked number one according to the Official World Golf Rankings and has his eyes on the 125th U.S. Open Golf Championship at Oakmont Country Club next. Watch above for an interview with Scheffler and highlights from his practice rounds! 'I remember coming here and thinking that was really fun, really cool to be playing the U.S. Open,' said Scheffler. 'It's my first major and was maybe my third start on the pro tour at the time, those are very cool experiences.' Scheffler's best performance at the U.S. Open came in 2022 as he tied for 2nd with Will Zalatoris. 'This golf course, there's not many trees out there, but there's so many bunkers,' said Scheffler. 'I don't really know if there's a golf course you can necessarily just overpower with kind of a bomb and gouge type of strategy, especially with the way the rough is. You have to play the angles.' The 125th U.S. Open is Scheffler's seventh time playing the tournament. Scheffler first qualified for the tournament in 2016 and was a low amateur in 2017. 'This is probably the hardest golf course that we'll play, maybe ever, and I mean, that's pretty much all it is,' said Scheffler. The World No. 1 ranked golfer already has won three tournaments in 2025. His wins this year include the 2025 PGA Championship in May at Quail Hollow Club. 'I'm going to try to hit the green, whether it's a three-order driver from that back tee, it depends on wind direction, but basically you're going to try to get the ball in the green and two putt,' said Scheffler. Scheffler tees off on hole one at 1:25 p.m. Thursday, June 12. Interviews courtesy of Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
