PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic -- Graeme McDowell won the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title since November 2015, closing with a 3-under 69 for a one-stroke victory over Chris Stroud and Mackenzie Hughes.
"This is big. This is big. ... It's been a rough few years,'' said McDowell, the 39-year-old major champion from Northern Ireland.
He didn't get an automatic Masters spot with the victory because the event was played opposite the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play.
"It's difficult to win on the PGA Tour,'' McDowell said.
