Here's how the playoff played out over the 16th, 17th and 18th holes:McIlroy: Birdie-bogey-bogeySpaun: Par-triple bogey-DNFOnce McIlroy tapped in for bogey at the last, victory was mathematically secured and Spaun didn't complete the hole.

Rory McIlroy took home his second career PLAYERS Championship title and the biggest single tournament paycheck in all of golf.

But a bogey on the par-4 14th and four straight pars to finish opened the door for other pursuers. Included among that group was J.J. Spaun, who birdied the 14th and par-5 16th to match McIlroy at 12-under par.
