JOHANNESBURG — Scottish golfer Calum Hill made par on the second playoff hole to outlast South African rivals Jacques Kruyswijk and Shaun Norris and win the Joburg Open on Sunday. The extra holes took place to the backdrop of thunder and lightning at Houghton Golf Club. All three players parred the first playoff hole — the par-4 18th — to go back up to the tee. Norris dropped out of contention after hitting his second shot into water from a fairway bunker while Hill left a birdie putt from off the green just short to tap in for par. Kruyswijk could have extended the playoff by rolling in a par putt from 3 feet, but pushed it right.
