HAYWARD, Calif. (AP) — South Korea’s Si Woo Kim won the Stonebrae Classic on Sunday for his first Web.com Tour title, birdieing the first hole of a playoff with Jamie Lovemark and Wes Roach.

The 20-year-old Kim shot a 2-under 68 to match Lovemark and Roach at 12-under 268 at TPC Stonebrae. The three players began the round tied for the lead.

Lovemark, playing a group ahead of Kim and Roach, bogeyed the par-5 18th in regulation to fall into a tie. Kim and Roach followed with pars, sending the trio back to the 18th tee for the playoff.

Kim earned $108,000 to jump from 67th to 16th on the money list with $162,350.

Roach and Lovemark each made $52,800. Roach went from from seventh to third with $236,516, more than enough for a PGA Tour card next season. He won the El Bosque Mexico Championship in April.

Lovemark jumped from 26th to 11th at $164,921.
