Bryan Gay has won the St Jude Championship in Memphis by four shots from David Toms and Bryce Molder.
The American fired a four-under-par 66 in the final round - his third such score in four rounds at Southwinds – to claim a comfortable victory, which secures his spot in the US Open this year.
Gay had led by just one shot going into the last day - having been at the top of the leaderboard for the entire weekend.
But he held his nerve superbly, sinking three birdie putts in the first six holes of his round, to put daylight between himself and the chasing pack.
Behind Gay, Toms fired an excellent five-under-par 65 to earn a share of second place with Molder, while Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell shot the lowest round of the day - a seven-under-par 63 - to finish in a tie for seventh overall.
