A late eagle and a closing birdie fueled a stirring comeback for Richy Werenski at the Barracuda Championship, where he closed out his first career PGA Tour victory.
Werenski started the final round 7 points behind leader Troy Merritt in the only Tour event that utilizes modified Stableford scoring. He was still well off the pace with just three holes to go but surged into contention with a 5-point eagle on No. 16, holing a pitch shot from just short of the green to get within a point of Merritt.
After hitting his drive on No. 18 into the trees, Werenski hit a wedge to 15 feet and calmly rolled in the birdie putt to reach 39 points, with 13 accrued during his final round.
