Chappell wins by 1 at Texas Open

Kevin Chappell made an 8-foot putt on the final hole to win the Texas Open by one stroke Sunday.

Chappell had a 4-under-par 68 in the final round to finish at 12 under for the tournament, edging Brooks Koepka at TPC San Antonio to earn his first PGA Tour victory in his 180th career start.

“A big relief,” Chappell, 30, said. “There’s been quite the monkey on my back for some time now about getting that first win. And to take that off and not have to answer those questions anymore is nice.”

Koepka, a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team last year, was looking for his second PGA Tour win. He had the best round of the day at 7-under 65. Before Chappell came down the 18th hole, Koepka had birdied the hole with a 3-foot putt to tie him.

Second-round co-leader Tony Finau got in a position to tie Koepka when he birdied four of five holes on the back nine. But his par-bogey finish left him to settle for a final-round 69 and a third-place tie with Kevin Tway (69) at 9 under. Australian Aaron Baddeley fired 68 to finish fourth at 8 under. Champions Tour: Carlos Franco and Vijay Singh teamed to shoot a course-record 12-under par to rally from seven shots behind and win the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Mo.

Franco and Singh finished at 15 under overall over the rainshortened 36-hole tournament at the par-3 Top of the Rock course, holding off a trio of teams that finished a stroke back. The win is the first on the PGA Tour Champions for Singh, the second for Franco.
