The American shot 62 in the final round to win his maiden PGA Tour title
JT Poston Goes Bogey-Free To Win Wyndham Championship
JT Poston won his maiden PGA Tour title with a closing 62 at the Wyndham Championship as the regular PGA Tour season concluded.
The American carded an eagle and six birdies to win by one stroke at Sedgefield CC from Webb Simpson.
He becomes the first player in 45 years, since Lee Trevino in 1974, to go bogey-free in winning a 72-hole PGA Tour event.
From his 72 holes, Poston made 20 birdies, one eagle and 51 pars.
"I probably haven't had that many bogey-free rounds this year," Poston said.
