The Waterford man began his final round three off the lead and finished with a four-under 66 that took him to 15-under for the tournament.

Power was right in the mix to win the title after stringing four birdies together between the fourth and seventh holes.

However, he petered out on the back nine, parring the next four holes before bogeying the 14th.

He birdied his next two but dropped another shot on 18 as Canadian Svensson's six-under 64 saw him surge to victory.

The in-form Power remains in first place in the FedEx Cup rankings after nine events of the 2022-23 season.

Svensson [pictured above], the 16th Canadian to win a PGA Tour event, had talked openly of perhaps quitting golf as recently as 2020, in the wake of losing his Tour card. The turning point for him was recommitting himself to the sport and putting 100% into it.

"It's been a dream of mine since I was 10 years old, eight years old," Svensson said. "It's just incredible. I don't think the money does - I don't think money really does anything. It's the feeling of coming down the stretch and winning and all that stuff, you just can't beat it."
