South Africa’s Erik van Rooyen produced a spectacular finish to win his second PGA Tour title in the World Wide Technology Championship.
Van Rooyen holed from 15 feet for an eagle on the 18th to complete a back nine of 28 at El Cardonal, the first course designed by 15-time major winner Tiger Woods to host a PGA Tour event.
A closing 63, which had started with a bogey on the first, gave van Rooyen a winning total of 27-under par, two shots clear of Camilo Villegas and Matt Kuchar.
An emotional Van Rooyen fought back tears in his post-round interview as he dedicated his victory to former college team-mate Jon Trasamar, who is suffering from cancer.
