Adam Hadwin wins Valspar Championship

Canadian Adam Hadwin has claimed his maiden PGA Tour title after triumphing at the Valspar Championship in Florida.

The 29-year-old began the final round with a four-stroke lead, although he was run close by Patrick Cantlay on the final day, ultimately finishing just one stroke ahead of the American.

Hadwin and Cantlay were tied at 14-under approaching the final hole, but the Canadian parred for a level-par 71, while the latter bogeyed the last to finish in second position.

Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell hit a 67 in Innisbrook to finish nine shots adrift of Hadwin, while Ian Poulter, who missed four months of last season with a foot injury, finished level for the tournament.

American pair Jim Herman and Dominic Bozzelli shared third position on 12-under.
