American Daniel Berger secured victory in the first professional golf tournament in three months, as the sport made a dramatic return from a coronavirus-enforced break.
Berger beat compatriot Collin Morikawa in a sudden-death playoff at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Fort Worth, Texas, to secure his third PGA Tour title.
Both finished 15-under after 72 holes, forcing the encounter into a playoff.
Morikawa then lipped out a three-foot putt on the 17th that would have moved the playoff to a second hole, handing Berger victory.
The 23-year-old also missed a putt for victory in regulation, after missing a seven-footer for birdie on the 18th green.
"It was a range of emotions," says Berger on his win. "I've grinded hard the last two months to be in this position and I'm thankful it paid off."
All three of Berger's tour victories have come in the second week of June.
The top two finished one clear of Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Rose and overnight leader Xander Schauffele, with Jason Kokrak's late charge also earning a share of third place.
DeChambeau, was leading with two holes to play, but bogeyed the 17th for his only dropped shot of the day.
World number one Rory McIlroy began the day three shots off the lead but struggled over the front nine en route to a four-over-par 74 that left him nine shots adrift and in a share of 32nd place.
Kiwi Danny Lee failed to make the cut, after shooting even-par for two rounds.
The Charles Schwab Challenge was the first of five PGA Tour events scheduled behind closed doors, with next week's event set to take place at Harbour Town Golf Links in southern California.
Meanwhile, on the second-tier Korn Ferry Tour, Kiwi Tim Wilkinson finished in a tie for 56th, with a score of three over par.
Wilkinson finished 15 shots behind winner Luke List of America.
