Chris Gotterup beat Hideki Matsuyama in a play-off to win the Phoenix Open.
American Gotterup, who started the final round four shots behind overnight leader Matsuyama, shot five birdies in his last six holes to card a seven-under-par 64 and finish on 16 under.
Japan's Matsuyama then bogeyed the final hole - his only dropped shot in a round of 68 - to miss out on the title and take the tournament to a play-off.
Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters champion, found the water on the first play-off hole at the 18th, while Gotterup's birdie secured victory at TPC Scottsdale.
Gotterup, who followed up a first-round 63 with rounds of 71 and 70, said: "I didn't think this would happen, especially after Friday and Saturday, but here we are.
"Hideki was playing great. I just figured I would stay loose."
Victory gave Gotterup his the fourth PGA Tour title, and his second of the season after the Sony Open in Hawaii last month.
World number one Scottie Scheffler missed out on the play-off by one shot after going round in 64.
"I played pretty well - only one round where I didn't have my best stuff," said American Scheffler, who carded a first-round 73.
"If I get in the house the first day with a couple under par, it's a little different story today."
England's Matthew Fitzpatrick finished in ninth on 13 under after a 69.
