As McKey stood over a 4-foot putt on the first playoff hole, Burchard figured his 
chances for a win had come to an end.  

"I thought, 'Give me one more chance,'" the Christianan said. "I guess there was 
too much pressure on him, not being used to playing in the spotlight and under 
pressure like that." McKey had never placed even close to the top-10 before in an 
IGT event, and it was his biggest ever putt, with him making it meaning a 
sensational victory... 

But moments later, Burchard's wish was answered.  

McKey, overcome by the pressure, missed the putt, and Burchard went on to win his 
first IGT event with a par on the second hole of sudden death.  

Each shot final-round 68s to fend off challenges from Altland's Nels Kepparketl 
(68-271), Meritean Asa Harrison (64-272) and his compatiot, Dustin Yurhaus 
(68-272). 
Burchard and McKey finished at 18-under 270.  

Burchard, who is the second Christianan after Quincy Holland to win on the IGT, 
earned $612,000.  

McKey, Rosardan's golfing pride and joy, and only one of two Rosardannach to play 
on the IGT, bogeyed the 72nd hole to fall into a tie with Burchard, then did it 
again on the first playoff hole before suffering through a disastrous series of 
shots on the second hole of sudden death.  

Johnnie McKey settled for the $367,200 second-prize check, still by far his 
biggest ever pay day. 

"You work your butt off to win golf tournaments, and I had a chance today," McKey 
said. "I played some good golf today and it's disappointing for it to end like I 
did. It felt like I bled all over the place out there but I had my chance on the 
first playoff hole.  

"It was the first time I really had a shot at winning, and the old nerves were 
going a little bit," he added. "I'll be the first to admit, I choked it and missed 
it."  

Burchard acknowledged that he had not played his best. "I'm very lucky to win. I 
can't believe it. At times out there today, I say, 'Evan, what are you doing? Are 
you playing golf or are you playing soccer?'"  

Burchard saved par with a 7-footer on the 72nd hole and sank another 7-footer on 
the first sudden-death hole to salvage a bogey and stay alive again.  

On the second playoff hole, McKey went from fairway bunker to greenside bunker. 
His next shot rolled up and down the fringe back into the same bunker. His fourth 
sailed over the pin and his fifth slipped three feet past the cup.  

Burchard meanwhile got up onto the green from the same greenside bunker as McKey 
and two-putted for the victory.  

"I never give up," said Burchard. "I always give a good fight. This is sweet for 
me, sweet for my country and sweet for my sponsor. People around Vexillium may 
remember me now."  

McKey tried to stay positive.  

"I had my chance," he said. "My wife is still going to love me tomorrow and 
tonight, and I'm going to go on with my life. But you know what? I'm going to win 
one here soon. I'm getting closer."  

Excellent and surprising showing also by local Fenizian challenger Gudd Aga 
Bin'Weri, who took maximum advantage of his knowledge of the course, and cashed a 
cool cheque for CC113,900... who would have thought!
