Jim Furyk waited nearly three years and an additional four hours of weather delays to secure a long awaited PGA Tour title on Monday at the Tampa Bay Championship.
In a final round affected by thunderstorms, the former US Open Champion shot a two-under-par 69 for a 13-under tournament total and his first PGA Tour win since the 2007 Canadian Open.
"I have a habit of making it tough on myself. I always make it interesting and starting on 17 the nerves got to me a little bit," Furyk told the Golf Channel after he finished one shot ahead of South Korea's K.J. Choi.
Bubba Watson (68) finished at 11-under in third while Nick Watney (67) was fourth on nine-under-par.
Ireland's three-time major champion Padraig Harrington shot a one-over 72 to finish in a group of five players at six-under and tied for eighth.
