Davis Love fired a five-underpar 68 on Sunday to record a three-stroke victory in the final Kapalua International tournament, an unofficial postseason PGA Tour event.

Love, who won the PGA Championship this year, finished with a 22-under-par 268 to earn $216,000 for his second victory in Hawaii.

David Toms, who entered the final round tied with Love, shot a 71 on the Plantation course to finish at 19-under 271, with Olin Browne alone in third at 272 after a final-round 69.

Love fell behind on the first hole Sunday when Toms birdied. But he answered with a two-foot birdie putt on fourth to draw level.

The big swing came two holes later, when Love rolled in a sixfoot birdie putt on six as Toms three-putted from 30 feet for bogey.
