Rory McIlroy won his second Players Championship title (2019), defeating J.J. Spaun in a 3-hole, Monday playoff. Following a four-hour weather delay Sunday, McIlroy and Spaun were knotted when the sun dropped.

Back the following morning for a three-hole aggregate session, McIlroy birdied the par-5 16th and then all but sealed victory when Spaun’s tee shot on the par-3 17th flew over the green and into the water.
