Justin Thomas fell one shot short of winning his first PGA Tour title in over two years as Colombian Nico Echavarria claimed victory at the Zozo Championship in Chiba.
Echavarria shot a three-under-par final round of 67, including two birdies on the final three holes, to see off Thomas, who tied for second place with Max Greyserman.
Thomas, who finished with a 66, is still searching for his first tournament win since his second major title at the PGA Championship in 2022.
He said: "It's a mixture of bummed and disappointed, but I played so well. I played plenty well enough to win this tournament.
"Everything I'm doing is obviously the right stuff and I'm still going in the right direction. I've just got to keep trying to put myself in contention and right there as often as I can."
Ireland's Seamus Power, who had been joint fourth after an impressive eight-under second round of 62, tied in 13th place alongside England's Harry Hall.
