Tway defeats Faxon in Canadian Open playoff HAMILTON, Ontario, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Bob Tway defeated Brad Faxon on the third playoff hole Sunday to win the Canadian Open and end a 213-tournament victory drought dating back to 1995. After both players parred the first playoff hole, Faxon had a chance to win at the second but missed a five-foot birdie putt. The advantage seemed to be with Tway as he hit his approach 18 feet from the pin, but Faxon blasted out of a fairway bunker.
