(Washington) Canadian Adam Svensson clinched his first PGA Tour title on Sunday by winning the RSM Classic in Georgia, USA, with several game-winning birdies.
It’s at 16e and 17e holes that the 28-year-old from British Columbia in Western Canada made the difference, finishing with a 64, six under par.
