Starting the day, it was Brennan who found himself at the top of the leaderboard by two strokes and, throughout the final round on Sunday, he never looked challenged.

Birdieing five of his first nine holes, the 23-year-old turned in a five-under 31 and, although he bogeyed the 10th, further birdies at the 12th and 14th meant he was well on his way to picking up a first PGA Tour win.

Parring the 15th, 16th and 17th, a closing bogey was only a blip on what was a dominant display, as Brennan finished four clear of Hoey in second.

Not only was the victory his first PGA Tour start as a professional, but it also means the American can now skip the Korn Ferry Tour next year and go straight to the PGA Tour

With the win, he earns a two-year exemption on the circuit, as well as a spot in the PGA Championship and RBC Heritage, a PGA Tour Signature Event.
