Maverick McNealy produced a final-round 68 to claim a one-shot victory at the RSM Classic.
The 29-year-old Stanford alum finished his final day at Sea Island’s Seaside Course with one bogey against three birdies, highlighted by a final-hole gain to finish on 16 under, one clear of Luke Clanton (66), Nico Echavarria (65) and Daniel Berger (67).
The win, McNealy’s first of his PGA Tour career, earned the California native $1,368,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points. He is expected to move to No. 31 in the world rankings.
