Playoff

The playoff began on the par five 18th; both players went for the green in two. Wilson ended up in the greenside bunker; Jiménez at the back of the green. Jiménez three-putted for a par 5 which was matched by Wilson.
The players headed once again for the 18th tee, this time Jiménez was able to get home in two after a superb drive; Wilson, on the other hand could only manage a lay up after he missed his tee shot to the right. Wilson managed to play his approach shot to 12 feet, but his putt slipped by. Jiménez managed to two-putt for a birdie 4 and the title.
