Sam Burns fired a 3-under-par 68 for his first PGA Tour victory, a three-shot win over his third-round co-leader Keegan Bradley in the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Fla., on Sunday.

Burns, who shot a 17-under 267 for the tournament, finished Sunday's round with bogeys on two of his final four holes, but his 1-under on the back nine of Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course was enough. He also recorded three birdies on the back nine.

Bradley's back nine, on the other hand, included a double-bogey, a bogey and no birdies. His even-par 71 on Sunday left him at 270 and alone in second place."I just didn't hit the shots I needed to coming down the end," Bradley said. "But I'm proud of the way I finished off to come in solo second. A lot of points at stake, World Ranking points, so that, I can take that away from it.

Viktor Hovland of Norway shot the day's best round, a 65, to move up into a tie for third at 271 . He recorded five birdies on the front nine and seven for the day.
