Els dropped a 10-foot birdie putt on the last hole to force the playoff.
"He just hit a perfect putt right in the center, right there," said Frazar, who has three seconds — and no wins — in six-plus PGA Tour seasons.
When Els drained another birdie putt — this time from 22 feet — to win the playoff at the 11th hole, Frazar was "disappointed" but not "disheartened."
"I don't feel like I lost today. I got beat. I played well," Frazar said.
