Playoff

The playoff began on the par five 18th, and both laid up with their second shots. Donald played a majestic pitch to leave himself no more than six feet for birdie. Westwood attempted to follow him in but overspun his approach and it retracted into the water hazard. He eventually chipped out from the drop zone and made double bogey; Donald made his birdie putt to win the title and overtook his countryman as the new World Number One.
