Mayakoba Golf Classic 2012: John Huh Wins After 8-Hole Playoff

It took 80 holes in total, but John Huh finally won the 2012 Mayakoba Golf Classic. He led all golfers with a tournament-high 8-under through regulation on Day 4, moving up eight spots from the beginning of the day to tie Robert Allenby and force a sudden death playoff. The players went stroke-for-stroke, alternating pars on the holes 10 and 18 until Allenby finally bogeyed in the eighth round to give Huh the win.

Allenby performed a comeback of his own on Sunday, shooting 6-under in regulation to move up three spots and take a share atop the leaderboard. Daniel Summerhays was in pole position entering the day, but he bogeyed five times on the front nine to finish at plus-2 on the day and at minus-10 for the tournament, good for a four-way tie for fifth place.

Matt Every and Colt Knost finished behind Huh and Allenby at 11-under for the tournament. Both shot 5-under on the day to move up four spots on the leaderboard.

Robert Allenby isn't the most notable name golfing at the Mayakoba Classic at the El Camaleon in Riviera Maya, Mexico, but the Australian native is looking to change that. Allenby leads by two strokes midway through the final round of the PGA Tour tournament on Sunday afternoon.

Allenby has birdied eight times in Sunday afternoon's final round, and after hitting par on the rest of his holes, he's moved to a solid 15-under to take control of the leaderboard. Considering he was just seven-under and tied for fifth when the day began, the Australian is doing pretty impressive work thus far on Sunday afternoon.

There's a tie for second place between American golfers John Huh and Chris Stroud as they're both 13-under, but only Stroud has a chance at overtaking Allenby as Huh is already in the clubhouse. Colt Knost and Will Claxton round out the leaderboard's top five.

While most of the golf world's eyeballs are pointed towards Arizona for the 2012 Accenture Match Play Championship, the Mayakoba Golf Classic has provided plenty of intrigue so far. Eleven golfers are within four strokes of the lead on Day 3, with Dustin Summerhays holding a one-stroke lead over Kevin Stadler through seven holes.

Summerhays was in a three-way tie with Will Claxton and Greg Owen, but those two golfers have fallen off somewhat in the front nine. Claxton is only two shots back at even through six holes, but Owen has dropped all the way down into a six-way tie for 12th with bogeys on three of his first six holes.

Stadler is among the biggest movers so far on the day, shooting 3-under through eight holes. Johnson Wagner entered the tournament looking to win his third straight Mayakoba title. He is currently sits in a tie for 46th at 1-over for tournament, however.
