The 45-year-old Englishman had lost on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off with Rory McIlroy at this years Masters.
But this time the world number 20 held his nerve to take it to a third sudden-death hole with American Spaun at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
Both hit par on their first go at the 18th hole and birdied their second, before Spaun failed to follow suit after Rose claimed another birdie.
That gave Rose his 12th PGA Tour title while compatriot Tommy Fleetwoods wait for his first win goes on after he had gone into the final round of his 162nd event on the US circuit with a one-stroke lead.
