-

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — American Pat Perez won the PGA Tour’s CIMB Classic, claiming a four-shot victory over compatriot Keegan Bradley on Sunday at TPC Kuala Lumpur.

He sealed his first title in almost a year despite carding a modest three-under 69 in the final round, courtesy of a strong start with three birdies in the first four holes.

The 41-year-old only managed to make par on the back nine, but did enough to finish the tournament with a 24-under 264 to take home the $1.26 million prize purse and 500 FedEX Cup points.

Victory also earned him an automatic entry for next year’s Masters in April.

“Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., was the low Canadian at 12 under. Richard T. Lee and

Adam Hadwin finished in a tie for 51st place at three under while Graham DeLaet was two under.
