PGA Tour: Matt Kuchar won the Turning Stone Championship on the sixth hole of a sudden-death play-off today after fellow Vaughn Taylor hit his tee shot at the par-four 13th into the water.

Kuchar made par on the 439-yard hole, while Taylor took a double-bogey, to win a €740,000 top prize for his second tour title after his maiden victory at the 2002 Honda Classic.

Kuchar and Taylor, who tied on 17-under par through 72 holes of regulation, played two sudden-death holes on Sunday before failing light forced a suspension of play.

Both golfers had opportunities to win after returning to the Atunyote course on a windy, cold and damp morning in upstate New York.

Kuchar grazed the right edge of the cup on a four-foot putt at today's first play-off hole to squander a chance to end it.

The 31-year-old Kuchar bounced back to stay in the play-off by sinking a 23-foot putt for birdie on the next hole that forced Taylor to drain his six-footer to stay alive.

Taylor left a 20-foot birdie putt inches short of the cup that would have won it for him on the fifth play-off hole.
