Early birthday present for O'Hair

Sean O’Hair collected his first PGA Tour title after firing a bogey-free six-under-par 65 for a one-stroke victory at the John Deere Classic in Illinois.

O’Hair, who turns 23 tomorrow, began the day six shots behind JL Lewis but finished strongly to collect $720,000 (€601,500) and an invitation to St Andrews for this week’s Open.
