Madison, Miss. ? A day after blowing a lead with a triple bogey on the final hole, Will MacKenzie birdied the par-5 18th three straight times Sunday to win the Viking Classic in a playoff for his second PGA Tour victory.

A free spirit who dropped out of golf for almost 10 years and lived in his van for five, MacKenzie beat Marc Turnesa on the second playoff hole after Brian Gay dropped out on the first extra hole.
