Rickie Fowler won the tournament, beating Kevin Kisner and Sergio García in a playoff.
Trailing by five shots with six holes to play, Fowler played them at six-under-par, going birdie-par-birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie to force a playoff. After the three-hole aggregate playoff (holes 16–18) ended with Kisner and Fowler still tied, they returned to the 17th for sudden-death. Fowler put his tee shot to five feet (1.5 m) on the island green 17th, and made birdie to win.
Defending champion Martin Kaymer finished twelve strokes back at even par, tied for 56th place.
