Irving (United States) (AFP) - Steve Bowditch cruised to a four shot win at the Byron Nelson Championship Sunday by closing with a 64 at Las Colinas, the same golf course where he was married in 2011.

The 31-year-old Aussie posted four birdies on the back nine to distance himself from the field and finish at 18-under-par 259.

This was his second win on the USPGA Tour, and his second victory in the state of Texas after claiming the Texas Open in San Antonio in 2014.
