Farmers Insurance Open 2022: Luke List beat Will Zalatoris wins first PGA title at 206th attempt.
World number 151 Luke List claimed his first PGA Tour title at the 206th attempt after a play-off victory against Will Zalatoris.
American List, 37, birdied the par-five 18th hole to seal the Farmers Open 2022 title win after earlier finishing on 15 under with Zalatoris.
List had endured a nervous two-hour wait to see whether he would be caught after claiming the clubhouse lead with a six-under-par 66 in the final round.
Zalatoris and List finished regulation at 15-under 273, setting up the fourth playoff in the last 11 years at the Farmers. Zalatoris shot a nervy final-round 71, finishing with 12 straight pars.
Former world number one Jason Day and current number one Jon Rahm had been among the chasing pack - the pair finished tied for third alongside Cameron Tringale.
English pair Justin Rose and Aaron Rai were among a group a further shot behind.
List's final round on the South Course at Torrey Pines in California featured seven birdies, including a 13-footer for the clubhouse lead at the 18th.
List, who lives in Augusta, Georgia, also punched his ticket to the Masters for the first time as a pro. He played there in 2005 after earning the spot as the runner-up in the 2004 U.S. Amateur.
