In-form Mattiace takes title

Len Mattiace joined Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in an elite group by erasing a seven-stroke deficit to win the St Jude Classic.

Mattiace birdied five of the last eight holes en route to a seven-under-par 64 and his second career title.

He has won both this season, joining the top two players in the world as the only multiple winners on the PGA Tour in 2002.

The 34-year-old Mattiace is in his eighth full year on tour. He earned just over £1.8m (€2.7m) in his first 216 events but has collected more than £1.2m (€1.8m) in 17 this season.

Mattiace finished at 18-under 266 - the best four-round total in relation to par on the tour since late March, when Vijay Singh won the Houston Open at 22-under 266.

PGA Tour rookie Tim Petrovic made a late run at his first career title but narrowly missed a 35-foot birdie putt on the final hole of regulation and ended up a career-best second at 17-under 267.

Surprise third-round leader Glen Hnatiuk of Canada matched the worst round of the day with a 77 and tied for 12th at 12-under 272.

Notah Begay III, who won here two years ago, was third at 268, a stroke better than David Toms.
