Young gun shoots nine-under 61 for maiden PGA Tour win

William Mouw has overcome a seven-stroke deficit to win the ISCO Championship for his first PGA Tour title, shooting a nine-under 61 and waiting nearly two hours to see if his 10-under 270 total would hold up. The 24-year-old Mouw triumphed in his 20th start on the tour when third-round leader Paul Peterson - who was playing the 10th hole at Kentucky's Hurstbourne Country Club when Mouw finished - missed a 55-foot birdie try from the front fringe on the 18th. "I was mentally ready for a playoff," Mouw said. "But that wasn't the case and I'm just blessed to be the winner."

"I have job status for two more years and I get to use that to play some really good golf and try to win another golf tournament," Mouw said. "But as to my life, it doesn't change my life very much." Peterson shot a 69 to finish a stroke back in the opposite-field PGA Tour event also sanctioned by the European tour. Mouw birdied the first three holes and added two more on Nos. 7-8 in a front-nine 30. He birdied Nos. 10, 11, 13 and 17 on the back nine in the lowest score in his brief PGA Tour career. He's the third rookie to win this season, following Australia's Karl Vilips in the Puerto Rico Open and South African Aldrich Potgieter at the Rocket Classic. "I knew that if everything clicked and I did the right things, I could go pretty low. I'm just thrilled that it happened," he said. The 37-year-old Peterson, also making his 20th career PGA Tour start, made a 24-foot birdie putt on 14 and a 30-footer on 16, then parred the final two holes. European tour player Manuel Elvira was third at 7 under at 66, and Kentucky native Vince Whaley (70) and David Skinns (70) followed at 6 under.

Rookie Mouw rallies to win first PGA Tour title in Kentucky

American William Mouw reacts to a putt on the way to victory in the US PGA Tour ISCO Championship in Kentucky (ANDY LYONS) William Mouw fired a nine-under par 61 to surge to a one-shot victory in the ISCO Championship in Kentucky on Sunday, capturing his first US PGA Tour title in his 20th start. Mouw started the final round seven shots off the pace, but eight birdies in the first 13 holes at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville saw him power to the top of the leaderboard. Advertisement He walked off the 18th with a 10-under par total of 270 but had to wait two hours to see if his three-shot lead would hold up. "I did all I can out there and played really good golf and left it all out there," Mouw said. "I guess I broke the course record, too, which is cool." Paul Peterson, the 37-year-old tour rookie who led by one after completion of the weather-disrupted third round on Sunday morning, made it an anxious wait. Peterson bounced back from two early bogeys with three birdies on the back nine. He pulled within one stroke with a 31-foot birdie at 16 but could get no closer. Advertisement "It's tough to come up short," Peterson said. "But I played some good golf this week. I'm proud of what I did." Having started the round so far back, Mouw said he wasn't thinking too much about his position until a fan informed at the 12th that he was in the lead. "Knowing you're in the lead on 12 and having seven holes to play and playing very, very good golf coming in is definitely the best round I played," said Mouw, who added his final birdie at the 17th. Mouw's previous best finish was a tie for sixth at the Puerto Rico Open in March. The Californian had gained dubious fame in January when he posted an octuple bogey 13 during the second round of the American Express, earning kudos for his ability to laugh at the disaster. On Sunday, his first win had him fighting back tears. "I worked very hard for this," Mouw said. bb/js
