The American golfer Charley Hoffman produced a brilliant final round to earn an emphatic five-stroke victory at the 10 million dollar Deutsche Bank Championship in Massachusetts.

Hoffman stormed home with a nine-under-par 62 at the Boston TPC to clinch his second victory on the PGA Tour.

He finished at 22-under 262, while Australians Jason Day (71) and Geoff Ogilvy (66) and Briton Luke Donald (69) tied for second at 17-under.

Hoffman moves to second in the tour's FedEx Cup points list with two of the four playoff events completed.

Tiger Woods finished 12 strokes behind, tied for 11th, and retained his world number one ranking.
