England’s Callum Tarren achieved his best result on the PGA Tour with a joint second place finish at the RSM Classic.
Canadian Adam Svensson won his first Tour title after finishing 19 under par, two strokes ahead of Tarren and American pair Sahith Theegala and Brian Harman at Sea Island Golf Club in Georgia.
Tarren, 32, has had three top 10 finishes in his career but has never made the top three.
However, his final lap 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 out of the pack.
“It’s not even real right now. I’m so happy, I’ve put in so much work. Winning on the PGA Tour means everything to me,” the 28-year-old said.
His first Tour victory came in what was a 70th PGA start for the world number 174.
