The 23 man playoff began on the first playoff hole with three players quickly moving on with birdies. Included in the group were Stanford junior Franklin Huang, Vanderbilt junior William Gordon and recent Houston graduate Blair Hamilton.
An additional four players advanced on the second playoff hole, the 11th. Oklahoma State commit Matthew Wolff, Pepperdine sophomore Sahith Theegala, recent Stanford graduate David Boote and Englishman Bradley Moore all moved on with birdie three's.
The final spot however proved to be much more difficult to determine. With eight eight players remaining the group played the third extra hole where another two players were eliminated. All six players left parred the fourth playoff hole before Stanford senior Maverick McNealy and two others fell on the fifth extra hole.
McNealy had a chance to end the playoff on No. 11, the second hole of the day, but his four-foot birdie putt lipped out.
The remaining three of Scott Harvey, Stewart Hagestad and Kent State junior Ian Holt pressed on to the sixth playoff hole and after a round of pars moved onto the seventh where Harvey was able to win with a par.
