MEMPHIS, Tennessee — It took some extras holes, we have a winner!

Abraham Ancer won the final World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational Sunday afternoon at TPC Southwind. Ancher beat Hideki Matsuyama and Sam Burns in a playoff.

Ancer, from Mexico, sunk a 6-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole, earning his first PGA Tour title. He, Matsuyama, and Burns all finished 16-under par, setting up the playoff.
