Kevin Chappell earned his first career PGA Tour victory Sunday at the Valero Texas Open.
The 30-year-old entered Sunday with a one-stroke lead and held off Brooks Koepka to win in his 180th career start. While Koepka's 65 helped him jump from a tie for 12th to second place, Chappell was one shot better thanks to a score of 68 in the final round.
PGA Tour captured the winning birdie putt on the 72nd hole:
