Graeme McDowell claimed his first title since 2015 with victory in the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship in the Dominican Republic.
The Portrush man trailed American Chris Stroud by a shot with two holes to play.
However, while Stroud bogeyed the par-three 17th, playing partner McDowell hit a superb tee shot to six feet and converted the birdie putt before both players bogeyed the 18th.
The victory gives McDowell a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and will lift the former US Open champion from 257th in the world to inside the top 150.
“It’s been a rough few years,” the 39-year-old said. “It’s been a grind. On the 16th green, I said to myself, ‘You’ve got to do something that’s tournament-winning’. The shot to 17 was tournament-winning level.”
Wicklow man Paul Dunne finished in a tie for 12th following a final round of 71.
