Brian Carroll, of The Hawk Country Club in St. Charles, deprived Mike Small of a 14th Illinois PGA Championship on Wednesday at Makray Memorial in Barrington. Carroll, winner of the IPGA Match Play title in May, padded his lead in the Player of the Year standings when he took down Small in a three-hole aggregate score playoff. In the playoff Carroll went birdie-par-birdie while Small strung together 3 pars. The key to victory for Carroll, however, was his play on Makray's back nine. He made 5 birdies in posting a 31.
