Byeong Hun An started the day with a share of the lead at the Genesis Championship alongside fellow South Korean Tom Kim.<\/p>\n

The lead changed hands throughout the day with six players vying for the title but in the end An and Kim both closed with 67s to finish at 17-under setting up a playoff.<\/p>\n

An birdied the first extra hole to win while Kim bogeyed the par-5 18th.<\/p>\n

“It’s great, I’ve had a great season obviously, it’s been too long (to win) on the main Tour,” said An.<\/p>\n

“All I tried to do is show some great golf in front of the home fans, it’s been a while since I’ve played in front of them.<\/p>\n

“It feels amazing, it’s a bit of a shame that Tom had a bit of mess there, but it’s been a great tournament for me, I’ve really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

“There has been a lot of fans out there supporting me and Tom and I feel like we had a great battle today. I just got a little bit lucky to be a winner out there today I think.<\/p>\n

“It’s a sweet ending for this year, it’s been a great year. This feels amazing, I’m going enjoy it for a while then I’ve got to get back on it.”<\/p>\n
