Entered final round two strokes off the lead, but fired a bogey-free 65 that included a 4-under-par 32 on the final nine. With a career-best paycheck of $666,000, moved from No. 118 to No. 49 on the season money list with $1,199,802, more than he has earned in his five previous years on the PGA TOUR ($1,119,649).
