Jason Day says a return to the top of the world rankings is his goal after a first PGA Tour win in almost two years.
The 30-year-old Australian won the Farmers Insurance Open by beating Sweden's Alex Noren on the sixth hole of their play-off at Torrey Pines.
"My goal was always to get back to world number one and this is a good start in the right direction," he said.
Ryan Palmer had been eliminated before the play-off was suspended on Sunday after five holes because of darkness.
The American - who finished alongside Day and Swede Noren on 10 under - departed with a par at the first play-off hole.
When play resumed on Monday, a birdie on the sixth extra hole gave Day his 11th PGA Tour title - and first since winning the Players Championship in May 2016.
"It's been a long time coming," said Day.
"I had some stuff off course that was a little distracting - with my mother having cancer - so I worked hard in the off-season to get back into this position."
