Patton Kizzire shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 on Sunday at Mayakoba Resort’s El Camaleon Golf Club to win the OHL Classic by one stroke over Rickie Fowler.
Kizzire produced a five-birdie final round en route to a 19 under four-day total.
The win in Mexico earned the 31-year old Alabama native $1,278,000 and 500 FedExCup points, and moved the former Auburn Tiger to No. 1 in the standings.
Kizzire, who entered Mexico ranked 236th in the world, also gains some much needed job security, as the PGA Tour title includes a two-year exemption – right through the 2019-20 season.
Runner-up Fowler took home a check for $766,800 and 300 points.
