American Michael Thompson snapped a seven-year US PGA title drought with birdies on two of the last three holes to win the 3M Open by two strokes.
Thompson, the 2012 US Open runner-up, splashed an impressive bunker shot within three feet of the cup at the par-4 16th and holed a 15-foot birdie putt at the par-5 18th to secure his first tour triumph since the 2013 Honda Classic.
I don't know what to say. This is so exciting, Thompson said, his voice cracking with emotion as he fought back tears. I played such good golf today. I played within myself. This means so much to me.
Thompson fired a four-under-par 67 in the final round to finish on 19-under 265 to defeat compatriot Adam Long by two shots after 72 holes at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota.
