KAUPULEHU-KONA, Hawaii — John Cook caught David Frost on the final hole of regulation, then beat him with birdie on the second playoff hole to win the Mitsubishi Electric Championship on Sunday.

Cook closed with a 5-under-67 at Hualalai Golf Club to catch Frost at 17-under 199. Cook made a 16-foot birdie putt on the 18th green.

Frost shot a 69, missing a 15-foot birdie putt at the 18th that would have given him a win in the Champions Tour season-opener. He had held the lead alone since the 12th hole of the second round.

“He is just really good and he’s played really well, especially the last few months of last year,” Cook said of Frost. “He’s won a lot of tournaments all over the world. He hit some beautiful golf shots today and didn’t get much out of what he was doing and I hadn’t either. It was kind of a survival day until it got down to the nitty gritty and you knew what you had to do.”
