First playoff hole
Both players in the fairway off the tee. They're playing the par-4 18th, with the playoff order being 18-18-9-18. Noren finds the green but is about 25 feet away. Meanwhile, Hideki throws one in tight and he has almost a tap-in birdie.
Noren gives it a good run, but his birdie putt just misses. Hideki knocks it in, and he wins the Hero World Challenge for the second time in his career.
Alex Noren ties Hideki Matsuyama at 22 under
Hideki shoots 64 in the final round, but then Alex Noren buries a birdie behind him and we're going to a playoff between those two. Straka and Scheffler can join with eagles on the last hole.
Straka moves within a shot
Hideki Matsuyama remains at 22 under with two holes to play, and Sepp Straka is one back. Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun and Alex Noren are all two shots behind.
Hideki moves 2 ahead
With five holes to go, this is Hideki Matsuyama's tournament to lose. He birdied yet another hole, the 13th, moving to 8 under on the day and he's at 22 under, two ahead of Sepp Straka and three ahead of Alex Noren.
Scottie Scheffler chips in to move 2 back
Here he comes. Scottie chips in on No. 10 and is now only two behind Straka and Matsuyama. Can he come from behind to win for the third straight time?
Hideki ties lead with hole-out eagle
And just like that, Hideki Matsuyama is tied for the lead. He holes out for eagle on the par-4 10th and has tied Sepp Straka at 21 under.
Straka's lead is 2 at the turn
Sepp Straka is putting the pressure on the field. He reaches 21 under after his fourth birdie on the front nine at No. 9, and he moves two ahead of Hideki Matsuyama and three in front of Scottie Scheffler.
Straka goes 3 ahead of Scheffler
A Scheffler bogey on No. 4 followed by a dart on the par-5 fifth from Straka leads to a three-shot advantage for the Austrian over world No. 1 and Hideki Matsuyama.
Straka remains 1 ahead after 3
Sepp Straka birdied the first hole to go up two shots, but Scottie Scheffler bounced back with a birdie of his own at No. 3 to shrink the lead to one shot. Hideki Matsuyama is the closest pursuer at 15 under and three behind Straka.
Leaders underway at Albany
Sepp Straka and Scottie Scheffler have teed off in the final sound, so time to settle in and enjoy watching some Sunday golf at Tiger's event. Straka holds a one-shot lead with 18 holes to go.
