The former British Open golf champion Ben Curtis registered his first PGA Tour victory in six years by holding off a pair of pursuers down the stretch to claim a two-stroke victory at the Texas Open in San Antonio.
Curtis, the 2003 British Open winner, made a seven-metre par-saving putt at the 17th hole and then sank a birdie putt at the last to finish with a flourish for a level-par 72 and nine-under for the tournament.
Fellow-Americans Matt Every (71) and 21-year-old John Huh (69) tied for second.
For the 34-year-old American, who entered the tournament ranked 285th in the world after struggling over the last couple of years, it was his fourth PGA victory but first since the 2006 Booz Allen Classic.
