WASHINGTON: Sweden's Vincent Norrman won a playoff over England's Nathan Kimsey with a par on the first extra hole Sunday to capture the US PGA Tour Barbasol Championship. The 25-year-old from Stockholm sank a clutch seven-foot bogey putt on the 18th hole in regulation just to force a playoff, then pitched from the rough to two feet in the playoff and made a par putt for the victory. "I don't think I can process this for a while. I'm at a loss for words," Norrman said. "It's even beyond (a dream). I don't think I've dreamt this big yet honestly. It's amazing." Norrman fired a six-under par 66 to finish alongside Kimsey on 22-under 266 after 72 holes at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky. The US PGA Tour rookie claimed his first title in only is 23rd tour start, the 286th-ranked standout booking a place in next week's British Open.
