Jordan Spieth claimed his 10th PGA Tour title after a dramatic play-off win secured victory at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut on Sunday.
The young Texan led going into the final round on Sunday and despite opening with two birdies - he produced an erratic display thereafter.
He struggled with the putter and had dropped three shots by the time he left the 14th green. A birdie on the par-4 15th put him back in the lead on his own but a late surge from Daniel Berger took the championship to a play-off.
Berger fired his tee shot left as the pair played the 18th again to hand Spieth the initiative only for the two-time major winner to hit a tree with his effort. Luckily for him, the ball rebounded back onto the fairway but left him 215 yards from the green.
Spieth fired his approach into the green-side bunker while Berger landed on the green - only to roll off the edge and it appeared the play-off would continue onto another hole.
An epic shot calls for an epic celebration.

However, Spieth had other ideas and chipped his bunker shot in to leave Berger needing to sink his putt to keep the play-off alive. He missed from off the green to hand his rival the title.
Spieth has now claimed his 10th Tour title before the age of 24.
It was a good outing for both Padraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy who both posted tournament totals of six-under.
After struggling to make the cut, McIlroy changed his putter on Sunday and posted seven birdies as he charged up the leader-board. A bogie on the last was his only blemish as he posted a final round 64.
Harrington enjoyed a far more consistent tournament as the Dubliner carded three sub-par rounds to finish tied 17th alongside McIlroy.
