Canadian Taylor Pendrith held his nerve with a birdie at the final hole to win his first PGA Tour title at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas.<\/b><\/p>\n

Pendrith trailed Ben Kohles by one shot approaching the last after the American had birdied both the 16th and 17th.<\/p>\n

But a bad drive from Kohles on the 18th left him under pressure.<\/p>\n

After he missed a par putt, which could have secured a play-off, he was punished by the coolness of Pendrith.<\/p>\n

Pendrith had moved to 22 under for the tournament after a birdie at the 12th but he failed to pick up another shot for the next five holes as Kohles made his late charge to move onto 23 under.<\/p>\n

But when the 32-year-old Canadian, who had led by one shot going into the final round but who has struggled with wrist and shoulder injuries, was presented with his winning opportunity courtesy of a three foot putt, he made no mistake.<\/p>\n

“It’s crazy,” he said afterwards. “Ben played great today and birdied 16 and 17. I didn’t hit my best iron shots down the stretch but a good two-putt on the last.<\/p>\n

“I feel for Ben making bogey, he played so well today, but I’m super thrilled. It’s amazing, I’m shaking.”<\/p>\n

English pair Aaron Rai and Matt Wallace finished in a four-way tie for fourth on 20 under while 16-year-old amateur Kris Kim closed with a round of 73 for a two over total.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
