Brian Campbell claimed his maiden PGA Tour victory at the Mexico Open in dramatic circumstances.
Campbell needed extra holes to defeat big-hitting South African Aldrich Potgieter at Vidanta Vallarta.
Both players were tied on 20-under par after 72 holes and headed back down the 18th.
Potgieter, 22, and 31-year-old Campbell both made pars on the first extra hole before Campbell drew one of the luckiest breaks imaginable.
The golfer sprayed his tee shot miles right but saw his golf ball smash off the trees back into the fairway.
From there, he laid up at the par-5 closer and got up-and-down for birdie from 68 yards.
Potgieter had the chance to extend the contest but pulled his birdie putt from six feet.
Unsurprisingly, Campbell got the biggest pay day of his career.
The Mexico Open offered a $7m purse to the field of 77 players who made the cut at VidantaWorld.
