American Jim Herman earned his second PGA Tour title with a one-stroke victory at the Barbasol Championship in Kentucky.

The 41-year-old carded a two-under 70 in the closing round to finish on 26 under overall ahead of compatriot Kelly Kraft.

Kraft had been leading by one with three holes left to play, but could only manage bogeys on the par-three 16th and par-four 17th.

Austria's Sepp Straka shot a final-round 66 to finish third on 23 under overall, while Matt Jones and Austin Cook were a shot further back in joint fourth with rounds of 63 and 70 respectively.

Scotland's Martin Laird was one of three players tied for sixth after an impressive final round of 63 which started with an eagle and featured seven birdies. 

Ireland's Seamus Power finished with a 68 to lie on ten under.
