Patrick Cantlay won the USPGA Memorial Tournament for the second time in three years after prevailing in a play-off with fellow American Collin Morikawa.

Morikawa led by one when Cantlay, 29, birdied the 71st hole to go level on 13 under par before narrowly missing a 26ft putt to win it on the final hole.

But Cantlay made par on the first extra hole to secure his fifth career win.

The world number 15 sank a 14ft birdie putt on the penultimate hole in regulation play, then rolled in a 12ft putt in the play-off. Morikawa, the 2020 PGA Championship winner, was unable to match him from eight feet.

The American pair shot a one-under 71 to stay clear of compatriot Scottie Scheffler, who fired a final round of 70 to finish on 11 under.

Jack Nicklaus founded the tournament in 1976 and the record 18-time major winner was watching at the Muirfield Village course he designed in Ohio.

Rahm held a six-shot lead after the third round but the Spaniard, 26, had to withdraw after being told he had tested positive for Covid-19 as he walked off the 18th green on Saturday.
