McDowell secures first win since 2015
Graeme McDowell secured his first win since 2015 with a one-stroke victory at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship.
The Northern Irishman returned to winning ways after shooting a three-under 69 in Sunday's final round.
McDowell's most recent victory came at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in November 2015, so his win in the Dominican Republic ended a tough streak for the 2010 U.S. Open champion.
