Journeyman's First PGA Tour Win

Unwavering Mitchell Caps Win With Birdie Putt at The Honda Classic

- 

Keith Mitchell made a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday to win The Honda Classic for his first PGA TOUR victory. He closed with a 3-under 67 to finish at 9-under 271 at PGA National, a stroke ahead of Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler. "I was trying to focus on what was going on," Mitchell said. "My mind started wandering there a little bit at the end ... and then I hit a great putt."

Mitchell was tied for the lead after 36 holes, and tied for second going into Sunday. Then he birdied four of his final seven holes for his first win as a pro. All he had to do for that victory was hold off two of the game's best in Koepka and Fowler. Koepka shot a 66, and Fowler a 67. They both birdied the 18th, and Fowler had a huge charge late to get to 8 under with three birdies in his final four holes, including a 45-footer on the 17th.
