Jhonattan Vegas ends seven-year victory drought with dramatic birdie at 3M Open

Jhonattan Vegas wins 3M Open

Jhonattan Vegas birdied the 72nd hole to end a seven-year victory drought and claim his fourth PGA Tour title in the 3M Open.

Vegas two-putted from 96 feet on the par-five 18th at TPC Twin Cities to complete a final round of 70 and finish 17 under par, a shot ahead of Max Greyserman.

The 39-year-old Venezuelan, who is competing on a medical exemption after an elbow injury limited him to seven starts last season, told CBS: "Every win is special, especially coming back from two surgeries.

"It was a very hard day for me today, I didn't feel 100 per cent. It took a lot but it really makes a win super special, especially having my little ones out here."

Greyserman had set the clubhouse target after a flawless closing 63, his eighth birdie of the day on the 18th coming after a brilliant approach over the water following a pulled drive.

"We're all out here to win golf tournaments and get trophies," the 29-year-old American said.

"I felt it was worth the risk and honestly to other people it seemed liked a hard shot, but in the moment it wasn't that hard of a shot. You hit a lot of shots in the trees in the course of your life, it was just another one."

Matt Kuchar and Maverick McNealy shared third place on 15 under par, with Canada's Taylor Pendrith another shot back in fifth.
