Rory McIlroy will return to Sawgrass for a three-hole playoff against world No 57 JJ Spaun after a nervy climax to Sunday’s final round.
Spaun, the unheralded American, came within inches of making a birdie on the 18th hole that would have seen him clinch an incredible victory.
But he closed on 12-under-par to leave him in a tie with McIlroy. They will be back at TPC Sawgrass on Monday morning to determine the winner.
