(Reuters) – American Brendon Todd clinched his first PGA Tour title in style with a two-shot victory at the $6.9 million Byron Nelson Championship in Texas Sunday. Todd, who started the day tied for the lead, broke clear with two straight birdies around the turn and parred home for a bogey-free four-under-par 66 at the TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving.
He finished at 14-under 266 and Canadian Mike Weir (67), without a win since 2007, claimed second place on 12 under.
Todd, 28, had never finished better than sixth in 75 previous starts on the PGA Tour.
He collected $1.2 million and an invitation to next year’s Masters.
