Cameron Champ has held on for a one-stroke victory in Sunday's Safeway Open PGA golf tournament in California, tearfully dedicating the win to his grandfather who is suffering from cancer.
"If I win no more tournaments or 10 more tournaments, this will be the greatest win of my golfing career for sure," Champ said afterwards.
The American had carded an error-free 67 to take a three-shot lead into the final day.
And he needed all his talent to take just his second PGA tour title, making a four-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to finish ahead of Adam Hadwin.
Champ had five birdies and overcame a bogey on the 17th hole, ending with a three-under 69 at Silverado Resort.
The 24-year-old's grandfather Mack Ray Champ, who fostered the younger man's interest in golf, has stage 4 cancer and is in a hospice.
