Brian Stuard is a first-time winner on the PGA Tour after taking a three-man playoff for the 2016 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Stuard finished the weather-shortened 54-hole event at 15-under 201, along with Jamie Lovemark and Byeong-hun An. On the first playoff hole, An was eliminated when he made bogey on the par-5 18th while Stuard and Lovemark made pars. They played 18 again for the second playoff hole, this time, Stuard dropping his third shot to within 3 feet for a certain birdie and the win.
Stuard earns the $1.26 million winner's share of the $7 million purse.
