SILVIS, Illinois (AP) ― Zach Johnson won the John Deere Classic on the second playoff hole Sunday, hitting his second shot to a foot for a birdie to beat Troy Matteson.

After Johnson and Matteson double-bogeyed the 18th for the first playoff hole, Johnson hit a 193-yard second shot from a bunker to 12 inches from the cup, again on the 18th. Matteson needed to sink a 43-footer to match Johnson’s birdie, but didn’t get the putt to the hole.

It was Johnson’s second win of the season and ninth of his career.

Both players hit their second shots into the water on the first playoff hole. Matteson hit his tee shot into the trees on the right, then hit his lay-up into the pond right of the fairway and short of the green. Johnson hooked his second shot into the pond, nearer the green, from a bunker on the left. They each stumbled to double-bogey 6.

Johnson birdied three of the last six holes in regulation, taking the lead until Matteson sank a 60-foot eagle putt on the par-5 17th.

Matteson had a double-bogey on the 15th to hand Johnson the lead, but ran down the long putt while Johnson was on the 18th green to draw even. Johnson parred the 18th in regulation to shoot a bogey-free 6-under 65 and finish at 20-under 264. Matteson had a 2-under 69.

Johnson began his climb into contention with a 12-foot birdie putt on the seventh. He went ahead when Matteson, who had led since Thursday, sent his second shot over the 15th green and took four strokes from there for a double-bogey 6.

Three-time defending champion Steve Stricker played himself out of contention by driving into high grass on the 14th hole.
