Adam Svensson Player Profile And What's In The Bag

CANADA’S Adam Svensson won his maiden PGA Tour title at the RSM Classic at Sea Island after barely making the 36-hole cut.

Svensson finished on 19 under par, two shots clear of England’s Callum Tarren and US pair Sahith Theegala and Brian Harman. Tarren, 32, had enjoyed three top-10 finishes in his career but never placed in the top three.

However his final round of 64 was not enough to overturn Svensson's lead.

Svensson's birdie putts on the 16th and 17th holes were enough to see him break clear of the pack.

"It's not even real right now. I'm just so happy, I put so much work in. To win on the PGA Tour means everything to me," the 28-year-old said.

His first Tour victory came on what was a 70th PGA start for the world number 174.

Tarren, meanwhile, hopes there will be more to come for him. "It's the best golf tour in the world and I love playing out here and hopefully I'm out here for a long time," he said.
