Beckman won the tournament with a par on the second playoff hole to get his second PGA Tour win and secure his card for the 2009 and 2010 PGA Tour seasons. He earned his third PGA Tour title at the 2010 Mayakoba Golf Classic with a two-stroke win over 54-hole leader Joe Durant and rookie Brian Stuard. Beckman finished with a three-under-par 67.
