Tour rookie Troy Matteson shot a three-under-par 69 and played like a veteran down the stretch to post his first career victory at the Frys.com Open in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Matteson finished his four rounds at 22-under 265 at Summerlin TPC to collect the $720,000 (€776,000) first-place cheque and move from 172nd on the money list to 78th.
