Poston keeps his head to win

Los Angeles – JT Poston (above) survived late pressure from Doug Ghim, firing five birdies in a four-under-par 67 to claim the third US PGA Tour title of his career on Sunday in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Poston, 31, ranked 64th in the world, finished with a 22-under-par total of 262 at TPC Summerlin, to beat Ghim by one stroke.

Ghim had an eagle and four birdies in his six-under-par 65, including a six-foot birdie at the last that put him on 21-under 263.

Poston, tied for the lead when darkness halted play on Saturday, birdied three of his last five holes to complete a five-under-par third-round 66 on Sunday morning to take a three-stroke lead over Ghim into the final round.
