Jhonattan Vegas wins 3M Open to end seven-year drought

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

FINAL LEADERBOARD

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%. 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."

Seamus Power closed with a level-par 71 that left the Waterford man on seven-under overall in a tie for 37th.

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