FULL LEADERBOARD

List birdied the par-5 18th hole to claim the play-off win.

He pulled away with a remarkable third shot from the fairway, softly arcing it from 131 yards out to within 11 inches of the cup.

Zalatoris was not as precise, hitting his third shot from 118 yards out to within 13 feet and four inches of the cup. He missed his birdie attempt by a couple feet and had to settle for a par, and runner-up status.

Both List and Zalatoris finished at 15-under-par 273 to force the play-off.

List fired a six-under 66 on the tournament's final day, while Zalatoris shot a 1-under 71 to open the door for a challenger. Zalatoris missed a birdie putt on 18 in regulation that would have won it.

A three-way tie for third place included Jon Rahm, Cameron Tringale and Jason Day at 14-under 274.

Five others were two strokes back of the leaders and finished tied for sixth. That group, which finished at 13-under 275, included Justin Rose, Pat Perez, Sungjae Im, Aaron Rai and Joaquin Niemann.

List attributed part of his progress to better success on the greens. He had four straight birdies between holes three and six.

"I've worked really hard on my putting, and that's kind of what's held me back over the years," List said. "To really dig deep and make some putts. ...

"Today, I rolled it beautifully on the front nine and made a lot of quality strokes even on the back. So that's a part of my game I'm continuing to work on, and I know it's going to keep getting better."

Zalatoris said he was proud of his effort
