Zach Johnson successfully defended his Texas Open title Sunday, beating James Driscoll with a 12-foot birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

Seven months after winning at La Cantera Golf Club in San Antonio, Johnson shot an even-par 70 to match Driscoll (62) at 15-under 265.

Johnson, the FedEx Cup points leader, also won the Sony Open in Hawaii in January. The 2007 Masters champion earned $1,098,000 for his sixth career PGA Tour victory.

Bill Haas (65) and Paul Goydos (69) tied for third, a stroke back.

LPGA Tour

South Korea's Ji Young Oh won the Sybase Classic in Clifton, N.J., for her second career LPGA Tour title, finishing with a 2-under 70 for a four-stroke victory over Norway's Suzann Pettersen.

The 20-year-old Oh had a 14-under 274 total on the Upper Montclair Country Club course. Pettersen finished with a 74.

Michelle Wie and Paula Creamer had 73s to tie for third at 8 under.

Champions Tour

Keith Fergus won the rain-shortened Regions Charity Classic in Hoover, Ala., shooting his second straight 6-under 66 for a three-stroke victory over Gene Jones.

Fergus waited out the second long rain delay in two days, then finished the second round in steady drizzle for his second Champions Tour win of the year.

Tournament officials decided before the restart not to try to get in the final 18 holes with the course soaked by more than an inch of rain over two days.
