Justin Thomas beat Andrew Novak in a play-off at the RBC Heritage to end his three-year wait for a tournament victory.
The American pair both finished on 17-under-par through 72 holes at the Harbour Town Golf Links on South Carolina's Hilton Head Island.
Thomas, who opened by tying the course record with a 61, finished with a bogey-free 68, Novak matching his score after an up and down front nine.
In the play-off, Thomas snatched his first opportunity as he sank a 21-foot birdie putt after Novak missed from 35 feet.
WALK-OFF WINNER!

It was Thomas’s 16th win on the PGA Tour but his first since the 2022 PGA Championship.
"Winning is hard. It’s really, really hard," he said on the 18th green after his victory.
"I’ve worked my butt off and stayed patient, stayed positive."
Daniel Berger shot a closing 65 to finish three shots off the pace in a tie for third alongside Canadian Mackenzie Hughes and fellow Americans Brian Harman and Maverick McNealy.
Tommy Fleetwood, who started the day three shots off the pace, closed with a 70 to finish in seventh a shot further back.
Shane Lowry posted a closing round 70 to finish in tied-18th on nine-under par overall.
Lowry, who came close to winning the event in 2022, briefly saw his final round ignite with an eagle at the short par-4 ninth to climb to 10-under but was rocked by a chaotic double-bogey on the 13th.
He did follow up with a birdie at the par-3 14th, the hole that effectively cost him victory in 2022, to creep back inside the top-20 but wound up eight shy of the leaders.
