JT Poston claimed his third PGA Tour victory as he held on to win the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas.
The American opened a three-shot lead when he finished off the wind-delayed third round on Sunday morning, holding off Doug Ghim to win by one shot.
Playing his first event since August, Poston moved ahead when he holed a birdie putt from 20 feet on the 14th hole as he resumed his third round.
FINAL ROUND LEADERBOARD
It was a lead he never surrendered, three birdies on four holes on the back nine of the final round giving him a four-shot lead.
That cushion was reduced to one after Poston bogeyed the 17th and Ghim birdied the last to complete a round of 65.
But Poston held his nerve to hole from four feet on the last for a par to complete a final round 67 to finish on 22 under.
Germany's Matti Schmid and Rico Hoey from the Philippines were a shot further back.
