LOS ANGELES - American Collin Morikawa tapped in a putt on the third playoff hole to outduel Justin Thomas in wild Sunday finish and capture the US PGA Tour Workday Charity Open.

The 23-year-old Morikawa finished the week at 19-under par 269 to win for the second time on the US PGA Tour. Thomas closed with a 69 but that included two bogeys in his final three holes after beginning his round with a two-stroke lead over Viktor Hovland, with Morikawa three adrift. After rain, wind and lightning led to two suspensions on Friday, organizers decided to move the tee times up on Sunday to avoid any more weather delays.

He made three more birdies on the back nine including the par four 17. Morikawa used an eight iron to spin his approach shot to eight feet then made the putt and celebrated with a fist pump.The most dramatic moment of the round came on first playoff hole as both players rolled in massive putts for birdie.
