Davis Riley won a subdued Colonial by 5 strokes over Scottie Scheffler and Keegan Bradley for his first individual victory on the PGA Tour.

Riley finished at 14-under 266 after rolling in a 6-foot par putt on the final hole. Bradley had a closing 67, and Scheffler shot 71 on a day when he hit only seven of 14 fairways and didn't have a birdie until the 13th hole.

Bradley, who won twice last year, was at 10 under after a 4-foot birdie at the 17th hole. But he missed a similar-length chance to save par at No. 18 after his tee shot and approach both ended up in the right rough., the only player in the field to finish all four rounds under par, was fourth at 8 under after his closing 68.

While Riley closed out the front nine with a 9-foot birdie putt, he was 6 strokes ahead of Scheffler. After tying for eighth at Valhalla, Colonial was the 11th top-10 finish in Scheffler's 12 tournaments this year. Before the PGA Championship, he had taken three weeks off for the birth of his first child after back-to-back wins at the Masters and the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head.
