American Ryan Gerard has won the Barracuda Championship in California.
The event is the only tournament on the PGA Tour that uses the modified Stableford scoring system, which awards points based on the number of strokes taken at each hole.
Gerard, who took home his maiden PGA Tour title, finished three clear of Erik van Rooyen with a total of 47 points.
The 25-year-old made a birdie on the second hole, followed by an eagle on the third, then repeated the birdie–eagle run on holes 10 and 11, giving him a huge boost on the scoreboard.
Gerard later said the win was the realisation of a lifelong dream.
"It’s a culmination of a lifetime of work," he told PGATour.com
"I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent hitting golf balls, dreaming of winning on the PGA tour, and it’s really special."
Englishman Todd Clements finished third on Sunday, Beau Hossler tied for fourth alongside Max McGreevy and Jacques Kruyswijk.
