Chris DiMarco was in tears as he won the USPGA's Buick Challenge at Pine Mountain.
DiMarco took advantage of a rare error by defending champion David Duval on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off to claim his second career title.
After matching the lowest final round of the season on the tour with a nine-under-par 63, Duval was long with his approach at the 18th hole and pushed an awkward chip six feet past the pin.
DiMarco missed a 13-foot birdie putt but watched as Duval's par attempt brushed past the left side of the cup.
DiMarco hugged his caddie and broke down in tears as he was overcome with emotion.
He finished third or better three times in the space of four tournaments this summer - but his inability to win cost him a spot on the United States Ryder Cup team.
DiMarco and Duval ended the 72-hole event at 21-under 267. Bob Estes and Neal Lancaster finished on 269, with Davis Love III at 270, Jeff Maggert at 271 and Joel Edwards and Per-Ulrik Johansson at 272.
