THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.—Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland sank a 20-foot putt to birdie the first playoff hole and win the Chevron World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club. Tiger Woods had a chance to match McDowell’s birdie and prolong the playoff but just missed his putt of about 10 feet.

The magic of draining tournament winning putts seemed to have left Woods when he needed it most. But McDowell showed the same grit he needed to win the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and dropped his 20-footer in the center of the cup.
