England's David Howell ended a seven-year winless drought with a playoff victory over American Peter Uihlein to capture the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday.
The former Ryder Cup player birdied the second extra hole with a 12-foot putt.
Both players had ended regulation play at 23-under par on the Old Course, with Howell shooting 5-under 67 and Uihlein a 69.
"To nail that birdie putt to win is pretty sweet," Howell said. "I was 0-5 in playoffs, so I felt as though I deserved one."
Howell beat Tiger Woods in 2006 to win the inaugural HSBC Champions event and has played more than 200 tournaments since his last victory in the BMW Championship later that year.
England's Tom Lewis (64) and Ireland's Shane Lowry (68) shared third place at 22 under.
