St Andrews (Scotland): Zach Johnson, who finished a full hour ahead of the final group in the 144th Open Championships, endured not just that wait but also went through a tense four-hole play-off before winning his second Major, eight years after the first at Masters in 2007.

Tied at 15-under with Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman through 72 holes, Johnson aggregated one-under for the four-hole play-off, while Oosthuizen was even par and Leishman was three-over.
