Steele holds nerve to lift first PGA title

BRENDAN STEELE led from start to finish on the final day of the Valero Texas Open to claim his maiden PGA Tour title.

The 28-year-old Amer-ican took a one-stroke lead into the final day and a one-under round of 71 was enough for him to win the title by one stroke from Charley Hoffman and Kevin Chappell.

Steele had birdies on the second and seventh, and a bogey at the fifth, then parred each of the last 11 holes to finish eight under for the tournament.
