Steven Fisk Wins ISCO Championship in Playoff
Fisk Secures Second PGA Tour Title at ISCO
Steven Fisk claimed his second US PGA Tour title at the ISCO Championship on Sunday in Louisville, Kentucky, after surviving a three‑hole playoff. He executed a short par putt on the third extra hole to edge past Taylor Pendrith, whose round ended with a bogey following a fairway bunker. Fisk saved par from greenside bunkers on the first two playoff holes and later carded a three‑under 67, collecting four birdies during regulation. The victory felt like a “vindication” for Fisk, recalling his surprise win at Jackson, Mississippi, the previous season.
Pendrith’s Near Miss and Scoring Highlights
Taylor Pendrith recorded the low round of the day, a five‑under 65, to sit at 16‑under 264 before the playoff began. His hopes faltered when a fairway bunker off the tee forced a bogey on the decisive third extra hole. After matching par on the first two playoff holes, Pendrith finished one stroke behind Fisk.
Other Notable Finishes
Ben Silverman and Aaron Wise shared third place at 15‑under 265, posting rounds of 66 and 69 respectively. Former US Open champion Lucas Glover, who started the final round with a one‑stroke lead, slipped to a one‑over 71 and ended tied for fifth on 14‑under 264. Both Silverman and Wise produced solid closing rounds that vaulted them into the top tier of the leaderboard.
Impact on Fisk’s Season
The triumph serves as a validation of the effort Fisk put into his game this year after describing his first title as “kind of out of nowhere.” He praised the grind leading up to the victory as “pretty special,” highlighting his determination to sustain his improved play. With this second tour win, Fisk moves deeper into the playoff pool, setting up a strong finish to the season.
