Gary Woodland beat Chez Reavie in a play-off to win the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

A spectacular closing 64 looked to have given Woodland a third PGA Tour title as those in the last few groups struggled to reach his 18 under par clubhouse target.

However, Reavie found birdies on the last two holes – converting from 20 feet at the 18th to force a play-off.

Woodland took the title with a par at the first extra hole as Reavie missed a clutch putt and bogeyed.

Despite bogeys on the 11th and 14th, he made gains on the 13th, 15th, 16th and 17th before keeping his cool in the play-off.

Woodland and Reavie finished three clear of Ollie Schniederjans and Brendan Steele in third, with Phil Mickelson delighting the crowds on the stadium 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale with a birdie before a closing double-bogey saw him finish in a share of fifth.

Scotland’s Martin Laird was the top European on 13 under after a closing 6 gave him a share of ninth place.
