Jonathan Kaye had not won in his first 194 PGA Tour starts

Kaye edged out John Rollins in the play-off after both players had carded final rounds of 67 to finish 13 under par.

"This is a great feeling," said Kaye, who was limping as he walked with a sore knee.

"I was patient, I stuck to my game plan and everything worked out for me."

Joey Sindelar finished third on 11 under, one stroke ahead of Spain's Sergio Garcia, who shot a 69.

Garcia, who won the title in 2001, bogeyed the par-five 18th hole as he went for broke.

"I'm thinking birdie to go to a playoff and eagle to win," said Garcia.

I don't think it's sunk in yet Jonathan Kaye

"It's just one of those things. I played well and put myself in a position to win. That's the most important thing."

World number one Tiger Woods went round in 70 to share 13th place at seven under par.

It proved to be a marathon final day for all concerned at the Westchester Country Club, with Kaye playing 30 holes after rain forced a suspension on Saturday.

He completed the third round with a three-under 68 before matching Rollins with a 67 to go into the play-off.

And Kaye secured the title when he sank a 12-foot eagle putt from just off the back of the 18th green.
