Leonard, Immelman, the 2008 Master's champion, and Allenby tied at the end of regulation at 4-under-par 276.

Allenby shot 65, Leonard 68 and Immelman 69 in the final round at the TPC Southwind course.

"When I won here in 2005, I led every day and almost let it slip away at the end," Leonard said. "This week I was kind of back in the pack a little bit and was just able to shoot a really solid round today."

Leonard collected $1 million.
