Bubba Watson held his nerve to beat Webb Simpson in a play-off in the Zurich Classic in New Orleans.
The two Americans, who were overnight leaders, carded final-round 69s to finish on 15 under par, two clear of three players on 13 under.
Watson hit a remarkable approach from over 200 yards from a fairway bunker and two-putted for victory at the second extra hole.
England’s Luke Donald fired a 69 to finish tied for eighth on 10 under par.
