​​American Rickie Fowler beat Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner in a play-off on a dramatic final day at the Players Championship at Sawgrass. The trio finished on 12-under but Fowler beat Kisner at the first sudden death hole after Garcia was earlier eliminated. It was his second PGA Tour win after success in the Wells Fargo Championship in August 2012. In the first three-hole aggregate play-off in tournament history, Garcia could only play the 16th, 17th and 18th in level par as Fowler and Kisner played them in one under thanks to birdies on the 17th. And Fowler then repeated the trick on the first hole of sudden death to give him a prize of $1.8m (£1.16m) in the tournament often dubbed as golf's richest event. Players Championship (Final) T1.
