Ryan Moore in Masters after play-off triumph
Moore made a five-foot birdie putt on par-5 18th hole after Woodland was short with his chip from just off the green.
Woodland and Moore had finished the regulation tournament at 14-under 274 on Sunday with darkness descending on the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club, forcing the play-off to be postponed to Monday morning. The players endured more than three hours of delays on Sunday.
