Els defends Sony Open title

Ernie Els successfully defended his title at the Sony Open with a 22-foot birdie at the third play-off hole to beat Harrison Frazar at Waialae Country Club.

Frazar almost won in regulation with a two-putt birdie at the par-five 18th, but Els sank a clutch 10-footer to force extra holes. Els shot a closing 65 and Frazar a 66 to tie at 18-under 262, three shots ahead of Davis Love III.
