Webb Simpson claimed his first victory since 2013 in the Players Championship, despite a thrilling late-charge from Tiger Woods.
No one in PGA Tour history had ever lost from the seven-shot lead Simpson held overnight and although the former US Open champion saw his advantage cut to four shots with eight holes remaining, a closing 73 was enough to secure a fifth PGA Tour title.
Despite a double bogey on the last, Simpson finished 18 under par and four shots ahead of Charl Schwartzel, Jimmy Walker and Xander Schauffele, with European number one Tommy Fleetwood two shots further back in joint seventh.
Woods had to settle for a tie for 11th after finding water off the tee on the 17th and making a double bogey, but the same position was good enough for Justin Thomas to replace Dustin Johnson as world number one as Johnson finished just a shot behind.
Watch the highlights above.
