McDowell Wins OHL Classic in Playoff

(Reuters) - Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell ended a title drought of more than two years on the PGA Tour with a spectacular playoff victory in the weather-delayed OHL Classic at Mayakoba in Mexico on Monday.

McDowell sealed the win after very nearly holing out with a five-iron on the first extra hole at the El Camaleon Golf Club in Playa del Carmen, his approach shot grazing the rim of the cup before finishing just three feet away.

The 36-year-old tapped in for birdie to edge out Scotland's Russell Knox and American Jason Bohn, the trio having finished the regulation 72 holes at 18-under-par 266.
