Scotland's Martin Laird outdueled Rory McIlroy with a spectacular final-round 63 to win the Texas Open by two shots over the world number two golfer.
Laird started the day five shots behind leader Billy Horschel but he vaulted into the mix with five birdies on his front nine. He added four more on the back to complete the bogey-free round nine-under and end the tournament at 14-under 274.
The victory brought Laird his first win on the PGA Tour in over two years and more importantly earned him an invitation to this week's Masters.
Northern Ireland's McIlroy showed improved form with a six-under par 66 for a 276 total.
The overnight leader Horschel managed a one-under par 71 to finish three shots back at 277 along with Charley Hoffman (69) and Jim Furyk (69).
