Mike Weir won the Tour Championship in Houston after a four-way play-off.

The Canadian collected a cheque for £615,000 after edging out Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia and David Toms.

Weir sank a seven-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole - the first of sudden death - to earn his third career title.

He held a one-shot lead going to the 72nd but bogeyed it for a three-under round of 68, and a four-round total of 14-under 270.

World number one Tiger Woods, who won his third consecutive money title, tied for 13th at eight-under 276.
