Anthony Kim defeated Vaughn Taylor in a playoff to win the Houston Open.
From USA Today:
Anthony Kim made par on the first playoff hole Sunday to win the Houston Open and deny Vaughn Taylor a trip home to play in the Masters.
Kim, who had a chance to win in regulation until missing a 6-foot par putt, closed with a 70. It was his third PGA Tour victory, and first since the AT&T National in July 2008.
It was a crushing loss for Taylor, who grew up in Augusta, Ga. The Houston Open was the last chance to qualify for the Masters, and Taylor gave himself a chance by making an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 68, then getting into a playoff when Kim made bogey.
Kim and Taylor finished at 12-under 276.
Charl Schwartzel (67) and Graham DeLaet (68) finished one stroke back at 11 under. Shaun Micheel (65) was two shots behind and Kevin Stadler (68) and Houston resident Jeff Maggert (70) finished four behind.
