A week after letting slip a two-shot lead in the final round at the Wells Fargo, the 30-year-old American took the same advantage onto the back nine at Valhalla Golf Club, but this time he held his nerve, claiming his maiden major title with a pressure packed six-foot putt to deny the charging Bryson DeChambeau the chance of a play-off.
