The final round of the 2025 Sony Open in Hawaii was an absolute thriller. Nick Taylor and Nico Echavarria entered into a sudden death playoff after posting a stellar five under par 65 round on Sunday to total 16 under par through 72 holes. The Canadian golfer emerged victorious after a two-hole battle at the Waialae Country Club.
According to the PGA Tour, Taylor had -20,000 odds to win the Sony Open in Hawaii. He carded in rounds of 66, 68, 65, and 65 to bag his fifth title on the circuit. Both players carded in a birdie on the first playoff hole, the par 5 18th hole, and played the hole again. Echavarria carded in par while his fellow competitor recorded a birdie to take home a slice of the whopping $8.7 million purse prize.
Echavarria settled for solo second place, with J.J. Spaun and Stephan Jaeger tied for third place with a total score of 15 under par. With the top 70 players and ties all separated by one stroke, the leaderboard at the 2025 Sony Open in Hawaii was stacked.
