Canada’s Adam Svensson sunk clutch birdie putts on the 16th and 17th holes to capture the RSM Classic by two strokes. The 28-yearold fired a bogey-free, six-under par 64 to win a back-nine shootout by finishing 72 holes on 19-under 263 at Sea Island Golf Club, Georgia.
“It’s not even real right now. I’m just so happy,” Svensson said. “I put so much work in. To win on the PGA Tour means everything to me.”
England’s Callum Tarren also fired a 64 to share second on 265 with Americans Sahith Theegala and Brian Harman.
Svensson, whose breakthrough came in his 70th PGA start, was among four sharing the lead before he rolled in a tension-packed 18-foot birdie putt at the 16th hole.
