(CNN) -- Germany's Martin Kaymer beat Bubba Watson after a three-hole playoff to win the 92nd PGA Championship at Whistling Straits and claim his first major title.
Dustin Johnson should have joined Kaymer and fellow American Watson in the playoff but was controversially penalized two-shots for an infringement on the final hole in regulation play.
Johnson initially finished on 11-under 277 but was ruled to have grounded his club in a bunker before playing his second shot to the 18th green and his five became a triple bogey seven, putting him back to nine-under.
Watson initially made the running in the playoff as he made a birdie at the first extra hole, but Kaymer hit back with a birdie of his own on the next.
The 18th proved the decider and Watson found the water with his approach to the green and could only make a double bogey.
Kaymer was also in trouble, but made a two-foot bogey putt to clinch victory after a dramatic final day in Wisconsin. CNN
