First title doubles Reavie’s career earnings

AMERICAN Chez Reavie overcame an early wobble to card a final round 70 and clinch his maiden PGA Tour title with a three-shot victory at the Canadian Open.

Reavie, who had had just one top-30 finish in 21 starts during a tough rookie season, began the final round with a one-shot lead over compatriot Anthony Kim.

He bogeyed two of his three opening holes but grimly fought back to seal victory with a birdie at the last for a 17-under 267 winning total.
