The Greenbrier Classic leaderboard

-13: K Kisner (US), R Streb (US) D Lee (NZ), D Hearn (Can); -12 R Henley (US); Others: -11 G Owen (Eng); -10 B Watson (US) -7 T Woods (US); -6 P Casey (Eng), B Davis (Eng)

Robert Streb made five birdies putting with a sand wedge to force a four-man play-off before Danny Lee won the Greenbrier Classic.

American Streb damaged his putter when throwing it to his caddie at the ninth, but shot 65 to tie with Kevin Kisner, David Hearn and Lee on 13 under.

Hearn and New Zealand's Lee birdied the first play-off hole to eliminate Streb and Kisner, before Lee made par to win on the second.

Tiger Woods finished joint 32nd.

The 39-year-old former world number one ended with a final round three-under-par 67 as he scored his first bogey-free round in two years.

His improved form comes just before the Open at St Andrews, which begins on 16 July.

"That is the best I have hit in a very long time," said 14-time major winner Woods, who has struggled for form in 2015 and is currently ranked 220th in the world.
