The tournament host Tiger Woods was denied a sixth victory of the year when he lost the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge in a play-off with his fellow American Zach Johnson at Sherwood Country Club on Sunday.
Johnson, who had twice finished second to the world No1 at this event, sealed victory with a rock-solid par at the 18th, the first extra hole, where Woods lipped out with a five-footer to bogey.
The pair had finished the regulation 72 holes on 13-under-par 275, Woods with a 70 and Johnson, from four strokes behind, with four birdies in the last eight holes for a 68. At the 18th Johnson found water with his second, took a penalty drop but holed out from 65 yards for par. Woods, who had put his second into a greenside bunker, then had to get up and down to take the match into extra holes.
