Carl Pettersson opened the RBC Heritage final round with a one-shot lead, but stretched it out to five for his first PGA TOUR win since 2010. It’s Pettersson’s 5th career title which ties him with Jesper Parnevik for most by a player from Sweden.

Michael Allen strung together rounds of 66-67-68 to win the Encompass Insurance Pro-Am of Tampa Bay by three shots over Kenny Perry. It’s his 2nd career Champions Tour win, ending a drought dating back to the 2009 Senior PGA Championship.
