Thomas delivers clutch moments to win Honda in playoff

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Justin Thomas was down to his last chance when he delivered his most clutch shot of the final round in the Honda Classic.

Turns out he wasn't finished.

Thomas nearly holed a gap wedge on the par-5 18th hole for a birdie to force a playoff with Luke List. Moments later, he hit 5-wood over the water, urged it to keep going and lost it momentarily in the darkening sky over PGA National.

"All I was looking at was the water to see if it splashed," Thomas said. "And it didn't. So I figured I was in the bunker, and then people started clapping and I could kind of see some little white dot on the green."

That set up a two-putt birdie that made him a winner when List, who hit his own bold shot in regulation to the 18th to set up birdie, could only manage par in the playoff.
