Jerry Kelly ends his seven-year draught by wining the Zurich Classic in New Orleans. It is also his first US Tour victory.
The American went into the final day three shots clear but a nervy start saw the 42-year-old fall three behind after 10 holes. However, the man from Wisconsin regrouped and took advantage of a late collapse from Charles Howell to lift the title and $1.1 million first prize on 14 under par.
Kelly birdied the 11th and par-three 14th before closing with a string of pars to snatch victory with a final round 71.
Final leaderboard:
-14 J Kelly
-13 C Howell
-13 R Sabbatini
-13 C Wis
-12 S Marino
-12 D Tom
Admittedly, Jerry Kelly has well done his job. It is truely an incredible week for him.
