SAN DIEGO — Jason Day and Alex Noren went 77 holes in the Farmers Insurance Open, and it still wasn’t enough to decide a winner.

Day holed a 6-foot birdie putt in the dark on the fifth hole of a sudden-death playoff Sunday. Noren followed with a 5-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole at Torrey Pines. They’ll return Monday morning to decide the longest playoff in the 67-year history of this event.

Ryan Palmer began the playoff with them after the three players finished at 10-under 278, but he was eliminated with a par on the 18th on the first extra hole.

Day closed with a 2-under 70. Palmer hit wedge to 2 feet for birdie for a 72 to get into the playoff.

Tiger Woods closed with a 72 and finished seven shots back – tied for 23rd place – in just his second PGA Tour event since August 2015.

LPGA: Brittany Lincicome beat darkness – with help from floodlights on the 18th green – to win the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic in Paradise Island, Bahamas, for the second straight year.

Lincicome birdied the final two holes and four of the last five for a 7-under 65 and a two-stroke victory over Wei-Ling Hsu in the event cut to 54 holes after wind wiped out play most of Friday.

Lincicome completed a second-round 67 on Sunday morning, playing nine holes in 3 under, and began the final round two strokes behind top-ranked Shanshan Feng.

The 32-year-old Lincicome won her eighth career title. She finished at 12-under 207.

Hsu closed with a 68. Feng had a 71 to tie for third with Amy Yang (70) at 9 under.

EUROPEAN TOUR: Li Haotong held off Rory McIlroy to win the Dubai Desert Classic by one shot, closing with a 3-under 69 to deny the Northern Irishman’s bid to win for the first time in 17 months.

Leading by one shot going to the par-5 18th, Li holed a 10-foot birdie putt after McIlroy reached the green in two. McIlroy two-putted for birdie.
