DAVID TOMS erased the bitter memory of his play-off loss at last week’s Players Championship when he clinched his 13th PGA Tour title by one shot at the Colonial Invitational on Sunday.
A stroke behind South Korean Charlie Wi going into the final round, Toms eagled the par-five 11th on his way to a three-under-par 67 on a blustery day at Colonial.
The 44-year-old American shrugged off his only bogey of the round at the difficult 17th and safely parred the last for a 15-under total of 265.
Playing partner Wi had to settle for second after closing with a 69.
“Wow, I didn’t know if this day would ever come again, to be quite honest,” a beaming Toms said after ending a five-year PGA Tour title drought. “I feel so blessed. It’s a crazy game and I’m just so glad to be part of it.”
