Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans team event, beating Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer with a par on the first hole of a playoff.

McIlroy provided the majority of them over the back nine, rolling in a huge birdie putt on No. 11 then cashing in another with his TaylorMade Spider X X3 mallet putter at the 16th after Lowry hit a clutch approach from a fairway bunker.

The teams were paid out in an every-two-spot manner. For example, McIlroy and Lowry split first- and second-place prize money, which equaled $1,286,050 apiece. They did the same with FedExCup points, each collecting 400.
