The 31-year-old Kizzire won his first tournament in 63 US Tour appearances by holding a share of the lead after each round. 鈥淚 was glad to get it done,鈥 Kizzire said. 鈥淩ickie made me work hard.鈥 He shot a 66 in the third round early on Sunday morning then returned in the afternoon to close it out with a 67. Fowler also fired a 67 and finished the tournament at 18-under. He shot a 65 in the opening round and posted 67s in each of the final three rounds.
