Poston wins Wyndham with bogey-free four rounds, Lahiri finishes 53rd

This is Poston's firt PGA Tour title. He became the first player since Lee Trevino in 1974 to win a 72-hole stroke-play event on tour without any bogeys or worse.

J.T. Poston won the Wyndham Championship, making it his career's first PGA tour win.

India’s Anirban Lahiri closed the week at Wyndham Championship with a round of 70 to finish tied 53rd.

Lahiri was going well at two-under with three birdies against one bogey, but two bogeys on the back stretch did not help. He totalled eight-under 272.

J T Poston finished bogey-free over four rounds and totalled 22-under to win his first PGA Tour title ahead of Webb Simpson at 21-under, and overnight leader Byeong Hun An at 20-under.

Lahiri hit 12 of 18 greens in regulation during his final round. After a drive to the right rough on the 428-yard par-4 fourth hole, Lahiri had a 163 yard approach shot, setting himself up for his first birdie.

He followed that up with another on the 529-yard par-5 fifth. He hit the green in two and two putted for a birdie.

However, on the 423-yard par-4 sixth, Lahiri missed his par putt from seven feet, finishing with a 3-putt bogey to drop to one-under. He birdied the 374-yard par-4 eighth hole to finish the front nine in two-under.

On the back nine, Lahiri’s tee shot on 12th went 237 yards to the left rough and his chip went 28 yards to the green where he rolled a two-putt for bogey. Another bogey came on the 406-yard par-4 17th to finish at even par.

Poston’s bogey-free winning achievement over 72 holes tied Henrik Stenson’s two-year-old tournament record at 22-under 258, and became the first player since Lee Trevino in 1974 to win a 72-hole stroke-play event on tour without any bogeys or worse.

“I probably haven’t had that many bogey-free rounds this year,” Poston said. “To be able to do four in a row is pretty special, and finish it off with a 62 on Sunday is pretty awesome.”

The native North Carolinian began his round three strokes back and took the lead for good with a birdie on the par-5 15th hole. He finished with three straight pars to earn USD 1,116,000 and 500 FedExCup points.

Webb Simpson was at 21 under after a 65. Byeong Hun An, who held or shared the lead after each of the first three rounds, three-putted the 18th for a bogey and a 67 to finish two shots back.
