Todd dominates in win at Bermuda Championship - PGA TOUR/Perform Media

Needing to birdie the final two holes to shoot 59, Todd missed a 20-foot birdie try on the par-5 17th and closed with a bogey after taking three shots to reach the green on the par-4 18th. He finished at 24-under 260 for a four-stroke victory over Harry Higgs in the first-year event.

Two strokes behind Higgs entering the final round, Todd opened with a par, then birdied the next seven. The 34-year-old former University of Georgia player also birdied Nos. 10, 11 and 15.

Two months after regaining his TOUR card in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, Todd earned a two-year exemption, $540,000 and entry into several high-profile events, including THE PLAYERS Championship. He won the 2014 AT&T Byron Nelson for first PGA TOUR title.

Higgs closed with a 68. The former SMU player made the sixth start of his rookie season after winning on the Korn Ferry Tour and finishing fifth on the points list to earn a PGA TOUR card.

Brian Gay (67), Hank Lebioda (63), Scottie Scheffler (66) and Aaron Wise (65) tied for third at 18 under.
