Euphoria for Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry as they win in a playoff in the @Zurich_Classic. Heartbreak for runners-up Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer as their tying putt ghosts the hole. Sublime drama. I love sports.
New Orleans is sudden death playoff city. McIlroy/Lowry vs. Ramey/Trainer Alternate shot on 18, best ball on 9
High drama at the @Zurich_Classic. Brehm/Hubbard and Lowry/McIlroy need to birdie 18 to get in a playoff. Previous leaders Fishburn/Blair just doubled 17 to fall two back.
Fist pump from Rory McIlroy as he makes a curling 12-footer for birdie on 16. He and Shane Lowry are now tied for the @Zurich_Classic lead at -25. McIlroy/Lowry -25 (thru 16) Blair/Fishburn -25 (thru 15) Ramey/Trainer -25 (F) On CBS.
Rory just hit his drive to the moon on 10, leaving Lowry a short pitch onto the green to set up another birdie. They're -23, two off the lead of Ramey/Trainer. @Zurich_Classic

Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer save their best for last - a final-round 9-under 63 to take the @Zurich_Classic lead at -25. They're one up on Blair and Fishburn. McIlroy and Lowry are at -20 through 6 (+1 today) and need to get it in gear quickly to have a chance.

The CBS announcers were all over McIlroy and Lowry for both hitting irons off the tee at the gettable 16th hole. And Lowry hit in the lake. But Rory made a clutch birdie putt anyway to get in a T3 at -20, 3 off the lead in the @Zurich_Classic
