Pacific Palisades, CA (Sports Network) - Bill Haas holed an unlikely 43-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to defeat Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley and win the Northern Trust Open.

After a pair of incredible birdie putts from Mickelson and Bradley on the 18th hole at Riviera forced the playoff, Haas made the long birdie try for his fourth PGA Tour title.

The reigning FedExCup champion shot a two-under 69 in Sunday's final round to get in at seven-under 277. Mickelson, who was going for back-to-back victories after his win at Pebble last week, and PGA Champion Bradley both had even-par 71s.
