Chris Gotterup shot 6-under-par 64 in the final round to capture the season-opening Sony Open on Sunday at Honolulu.
His 16-under 264 score was good for a two-stroke victory at Waialae Country Club.
Ryan Gerard shot 65 to finish as runner-up, while Patrick Rodgers bogey-free 65 helped him to third place at 13 under.
Seven birdies were spread across Gotterups scorecard en route to his third career victory on the PGA Tour. By the time he grabbed a three-stroke lead as he toured the backside he was in good shape because he played the final four holes without a bogey for all four rounds.
