Sergio Garcia became just the second European to win the Players Championship after beating American Paul Goydos at the first extra hole on Sunday.
After Goydos found the water with his tee shot at the first play-off hole, Garcia punched a wedge to the middle of the green and watched as his ball fed down to the hole, nestling only four feet away.
And after Goydos missed his unlikely par attempt from the drop zone, Garcia could celebrate the end to a drought of nearly three years after tapping in for a par.
Earlier, Garcia made a clutch par at the final regulation hole to stay alive. The par-four 18th was the toughest hole on the course on an extremely windy day, and Garcia found a poor lie when his tee shot drifted into the rough.
He advanced his second shot to within 50 yards and then pitched to seven feet before holing the pressure putt to card a final round 71.
Goydos, playing in the group behind, also found the right rough and bunted his ball down to within 50 yards of the hole, but with the tournament on the line, he hit a poor pitch and came up 14 feet short.
With Garcia watching from the scoring room, Goydos missed his chance to win in regulation with his putt drifting to the right before signing for a final round 74 to finish tied with Garcia at five-under-par.
American Jeff Quinney carded a final round 70, but bogeyed the last to miss the play-off after his approach shot found the back bunker.
