Britain's Paul Casey won his second consecutive Valspar Championship on Sunday, holding off South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen and American Jason Kokrak for a one-stroke US PGA Tour victory.
The 41-year-old Englishman stumbled with a bogey at the par-3 17th but two-putted from 22 feet at 18 to become the first back-to-back winner of the event. Casey had never before defended a professional title.
Casey edged Tiger Woods and Patrick Reed by a stroke for last year's Valspar crown.
Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion, and Kokrak, who failed to win his first PGA crown after 198 starts over eight seasons, shared second on 277 with two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson and South Korean Im Sung-jae another stroke adrift.
This marks the first time in seven years that European players have won three consecutive US PGA events, with Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy having taken The Players Championship last week and Italy's Francesco Molinari taking the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago.
Top-ranked Dustin Johnson, one adrift at the start, failed to make a birdie and shot 74 to share sixth with Spain's Jon Rahm and American Ryan Armour on 279.
The poor round snapped Johnson's run of 14 consecutive rounds in the 60s, the longest such streak of his career or by any Tour player this season.
India’s Anirban Lahiri finished tied 30th.
