The story of this year's Players Championship was changes, as no one seemed to want a victory. Rickie Fowler won a sudden-death playoff over Kevin Kisner on the first hole after a three-hole aggregate playoff that also included Sergio Garcia.     

The difference turned out to be Fowler's mastery of the legendary 17th hole, which saw him hit three birdies on Sunday alone, including the decisive putt against Kisner. 

Fowler appeared to have things in hand when he walked off the course in the lead at 12 under, but Kevin Kisner and Sergio Garcia birdied 17 to tie things up and force a three-hole aggregate playoff. All three men would par the first playoff hole on No. 16, but the second hole would give Fowler and Kisner the edge.

Fowler and Kisner hit short birdie putts following excellent tee shots on the 17th hole. Garcia was forced to settle for par after his tee shot left him with a long 39-foot birdie opportunity that didn't have a chance at falling. 

On the final hole of the aggregate playoff, Kisner had a long birdie putt with the ball just off the green stop just short of the hole. He came within inches of winning on that putt after being a couple of centimeters from victory in regulation. 

Kisner and Fowler would hit par putts to force a sudden-death playoff that began on the 17th hole. Kisner's tee shot hit the near edge of the green and took a huge bounce to the opposite side. He would go on to par the hole, giving Fowler an opening that he took advantage of. 

Fowler's tee shot was nothing short of brilliant, with the ball dying less than five feet from the hole as soon as it hit the green, per PGA Tour:
