Woody Austin: 49-year-old champion 
 
 
The  American ended the event on 20-under alongside compatriots  Daniel  Summerhays and Cameron, but claimed the title after making a  birdie on  the first hole of their three-way play-off to win his fourth  PGA Tour  victory. 
"It has been a long road and a long time," Austin said after his round. 
"I'm really ecstatic. Now I've got a job again." 
The 49-year-old Austin also became the oldest winner on Tour  since Fred  Funk's victory at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at age 50 in  2007, and the  eighth-oldest overall. 
Austin and Beckman both carded final rounds of 67, with  Summerhays -  who led the event for most of the week - needed a 69 to  ensure his  place in the play-off. 
Summerhays missed out on claiming his first title on Tour for the   second week in a row after he made a bogey on the final hole at the   John Deere Classic last week when a par would have booked him a play-off   position there as well. 
In the play-off, Summerhays' approach found the water trap which  all  but ruled him out of contention before Austin even sunk his   eight-footer for birdie. 
Beckman had an opportunity to take the play-off into a second hole, but missed his putt to hand Austin the victory. 
Nicholas Thompson was in fourth place two strokes behind the  leaders on  -18, while Billy Andrade and Kyle Reifers was another stroke  further  back. 
Two more Americans - Chad Campbell and Bill Lunde - finished in a tie for seventh place on 16-under.
