Zach Johnson beat world number one Tiger Woods in a play-off to win the World Challenge in California, according to reports.

According to the BBC, in a remarkable conclusion, Johnson found water with his approach at the 18th before holing from the drop zone.

Playing partner Woods then put his bunker escape to within four feet and made par to force a play-off, the report said.

At the first extra hole, the 18th, Woods found sand again with his approach and missed a par putt to hand Johnson the victory, the report added.

Woods was the tournament host at Sherwood Country Club and aiming to win his sixth tournament of the year, albeit not an official PGA Tour title, the report further said.

Woods and Johnson, the world number 16, finished the regulation 72 holes on 13 under par, the report mentioned.
