New Zealand golfer Danny Lee has won his first tournament since 2015 after making the move to LIV Golf.
In more than 300 events on the PGA Tour Lee had limited success, winning only once at the Greenbrier Classic eight years ago.
Last month Lee committed to LIV Golf and in only his second start for the Saudi-backed tour he has proven the move was the right one - winning a four-man play-off at the LIV Golf Tucson.
The win in Arizona was worth more than $6 million for Lee.
"I'm speechless right now," he said after the victory on the second hole of the play-off.
"It means a lot I haven't win since 2015 and I just felt like winning's just not my thing but today just changed that. It's just good to see I'm capable of playing some good golf again."
The LIV golfers play in 12 different teams and amass points for the team and themselves individually.
"Honestly I wasn't even looking at the individual score all day I was only asking how was our team doing... that's why I wanted to come over here win as a team," Lee said.
"For me I think it's even better mentally because I can never give up one shot out here because team is watching and you don't know what is going to happen out here."
