Pat Perez wins CIMB Classic by 4 strokes
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- American Pat Perez won the PGA Tour's CIMB Classic, claiming a four-shot victory over compatriot Keegan Bradley on Sunday at TPC Kuala Lumpur.
Perez sealed his first title in almost a year despite carding a modest 3-under 69 in the final round, courtesy of a strong start with three birdies in the first four holes.
The 41-year-old managed only to make par on the back nine but did enough to finish the tournament with a 24-under 264 to take home $1.26 million and 500 FedEx Cup points.
Victory also earned him an automatic entry for next year's Masters in April.
Perez's feat comes after a long recovery from a shoulder injury last year that threatened to derail his career.
