Kim Si-woo claimed his first PGA Tour win in almost four years with a one-stroke victory at The American Express on Sunday.
The South Korean carded an eight-under 64 in the final round at the PGA West Stadium Course to finish at 23 under.
It was enough for Kim to win his first PGA Tour crown since May 2017 and third overall.
Kim's win came despite a spectacular final round from Patrick Cantlay, who fired a stunning 11-under 61.
