Will Zalatoris makes most of three-hole playoff to win FedEx St. Jude Championship in dramatic fashion

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Will Zalatoris had the most money and the best world ranking of anyone without a PGA Tour victory. He changed that Sunday by winning the FedEx St. Jude Championship without making birdie in a three-hole playoff.

Heartache in two previous playoff losses this year -- one in a major -- turned into relief for Zalatoris after a wild finish at the TPC Southwind. It ended when he took a penalty drop from the rocks that frame the par-3 11th green and holed a 7-foot bogey putt to beat Sepp Straka.

Zalatoris moves into the top 10 in the world for the first time and takes the No.
