On the par-5 18th, Zanotti was on the green in two and rolled in a 15-foot putt for eagle.
“It feels really good to be a winner again. I’ve been working a lot and I was not in my best run of form, missing three cuts in a row,” he said. “But that’s in the past and today I’m a winner again and it feels great.”
Zanotti finished the tournament with a 19-under 269.
