Canadians Ben Silverman, Corey Conners tie for third in Bermuda Championship

Austin Smotherman of Loomis, Calif., captured his second straight FedEx Cup Fall event Monday morning when he outlasted Seamus Power of Ireland with a par on the third playoff hole to win the rain-shortened Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Smotherman also won the Bank of Utah Championship three weeks ago. The two victories in tournaments offering full FedEx Cup points gets him in the U.S. Open next year at Pebble Beach.

Ben Silverman of Thornhill, Ont., and Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., tied for third at 14-under par in Bermuda, two shots behind the leaders.

Smotherman and Power were tied at 16-under 197. The final round was cancelled because of wind so strong at Port Royal that conditions were deemed unplayable in Southampton. They returned for a playoff held on the par-3 16th hole with a strong wind gusting off the ocean left of the green.

Both made par when the pin was all the way back at 178 yards -- Power missed a 20-foot birdie putt for the win on the first extra hole and made an eight-foot par putt for a bunker save the next time.

The hole was moved to the front of the green for the third extra hole.

Smotherman, who twice hit 8-iron to the front section when the pin was in the back, stayed with an 8-iron and left himself a birdie chance just inside 15 feet. Power again didn't get enough help from the wind and his shot buried in deep rough left of the green. He chopped it out to just outside 15 feet and missed the par putt.
