Charlie Hoffman tied for first with an eagle and won the playoff Sunday to claim his first PGA title at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in California.
Hoffman birdied No. 17 and then carded an eagle on 18 to end up tied with John Rollin after 90 holes. Hoffman came back with another birdie on 18 -- used as the playoff hole -- to notch his first tour championship.
The hot finish gave Hoffman a 1-under 71 on the day, making him one of the few players to break par in windy conditions. Rollin finished at 1-under 73, using a birdie at 18 to match Hoffman at 17-under 343.
Rollin's drive on the playoff hole ended up in a bunker and he had to pitch out into the fairway. Hoffman had found the middle of the fairway with his drive.
Both golfers hit shots about 30-35 feet from the hole, and both two-putted -- but Hoffman's second putt was good for a winning birdie.
The leaders after the fourth round saw their scores balloon. Justin Rose shot 4-over 76 to wind up in third place, and Lucas Glover turned in an 80 to slip to a tie for 13th.
