Australian Jason Day withstood three amazing comebacks from his opponent to win the World Golf Championships Match Play Championship at Dove Mountain, Arizona.
Day has opened a 3-up advantage through nine holes and was two-up with two to play when Frenchman Victor Dubuisson launched a fightback to square the match and force a sudden-death playoff.
Twice more Dubuisson would be in trouble; twice more he would produce spectacular shots to keep the match going.
Finally on the 23rd hole, Day secured the greatest win of his career.
