Emiliano Grillo won his second PGA Tour championship after surviving an epic playoff against Adam Schenk at the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge. He registered an incredible victory on Sunday, May 28, snapping an eight-year drought.

Grillo shot a final-round 68 to finish at 8 under par and tied for first place in a two-way tie with Schenk. Both headed for a playoff and started the game with par-4 on the 18th hole. However, Grillo took the lead on the second hole of the playoff after hitting a par-2 while Schenk missed the ball.

Emiliano Grillo commented on his performance via CBS Sports, saying:

"It's been such a ride. Makes me think about where I come from and my family. We had a baby 14 months ago. Life changed, perspective changed. Today I made a double on 18. Honestly, I didn't care. I would have liked to get it on the 72nd. They say the second is harder than the first. It definitely was. I'm on top of the world right now. Hopefully I can stay there another week."
