A rookie making his second pro start almost stole the show but in the end, the 2026 ISCO Championship would come down to a playoff between a pair of golfers seeking their second PGA Tour victories.
They needed the bonus golf at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky, between Taylor Pendrith and Steve Fisk after they each finished 16 under, and up a shot on the rest of the field.
On the first extra hole, Pendtrich stuff his approach to about 9 feet on the par-4 18th hole but couldn't make the birdie putt. Fisk, meanwhile, hit his approach short and into a greenside bunker but got up-and-down for par to force a second playoff hole.
On the second playoff hole, each golfer missed the green with their approach shots but each got up-and-down, Fisk from 93 feet and Pendrith from 92, to save par.

Finally, on the third extra hole, Fisk made his third straight overtime par while Pendrith bogeyed it, and Fisk came away the winner.
Fisk, one of four first-round co-leaders, now has his second PGA Tour win, to go along with the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship title. Pendrith's lone win was the 2024 The CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
Fisk shot 63-66-68-67 over the four days. He earned $720,000 and a two-year exemption with the win.
Ben Silverman and Aaron Wise tied for third at 15 under. Lucas Glover, who led after the second and third rounds, shot 1-over 71 on Sunday and slipped back into a tie for fifth. alongside Kristoffer Ventura and Davis Chatfield. Defending champion William Mouw finished tied for 10th.
Jackson Koivun came in as the betting favorite in just his second start on the PGA Tour since turning pro.
That was crazy talk, right? Well, on Sunday, Koivun was 4 under through 14 holes and 13 under overall to get within a shot of the lead.
Steven Fisk, Lucas Glover and Aaron Wise were all a shot ahead at the time and were also seven holes behind on the golf course, but for a while there during the final round, the "that's crazy he's the betting favorite" didn't seem so crazy.
That's about where Koivun stalled out, however. He would par Nos. 15 and 16 and then bogey 17 to fall to 12 under. Koivun shot in the 60s all four days, with scores of 67-68-66-67.
