Ancer wins WGC-FedEx St. Jude after 3-way playoff

Abraham Ancer pulled out a narrow victory at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational on Sunday, beating Hideki Matsuyama and Sam Burns in a three-way playoff.

All three golfers finished at 16-under to force the playoff after impressive showings in the final round.

Ancer drilled a six-foot birdie on the second playoff hole to win. Burns' short putt to continue extra play lipped out.

Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for eighth at 12-under after a late collapse. Harris English narrowly missed the playoff, finishing at 15-under after shooting a 73 in the final round.

English led the tournament after the first three rounds and gained a commanding lead Sunday before falling apart on the back nine by shooting 5-over.

The victory marks the first for Ancer on the PGA TOUR. He becomes just the fourth Mexican-born golfer to win on TOUR.
