Dustin Johnson birdied the first play-off hole to defeat Cameron Smith and Branden Grace and claim the inaugural LIV Golf Tulsa title.
Johnson putt from the top of the 18th green at Cedar Ridge Country Club to earn his second career LIV victory.
The American had earlier recovered from a triple bogey at the par-four 10th to card a 67 and join Grace and Smith atop the leaderboard at 17 under.
“The game is in really good shape,” said the former world number one.
Johnson had a two-shot lead going into the final round but South African Grace posted a bogey-free, five-under 65 to join him at the top of the leaderboard.
Australian Smith made it a three-way tie at the top by making nine birdies and no bogeys in 61.
Harold Varner III hit two eagles in his final-round 61 to finish third at 13 under, with Spain’s Eugenio Chacarra and Americans Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau tied for fourth at 12 under.
Attention is now on the second major of the year, the PGA Championship, which begins at Oak Hill in New York on Thursday.
“I feel like I’m doing everything really well right now,” added two-time major winner Johnson, who has yet to win the PGA Championship.
“I’m really looking forward to next week, obviously getting up there tonight and going out and practicing a little bit.”
