However, the two Ryder Cup stars were not the only ones to total 25 under par. Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer matched their scores and proceeded to the sudden-death playoff. McIlroy and Lowry took on the twosome in the playoff at TPC Louisiana's par 5 18th hole.

Ramey and Trainer unfortunately carded in a bogey on the hole while McIlroy and Lowry took home the trophy with a par on the hole. The winning team took home a big slice of the $8.9 million purse along with 400 FedEx Cup points.
