TOKYO:

won his first title of the year after finishing one stroke clear of Max Greyserman at the PGA Tour's Baycurrent Classic in Japan on Sunday.

The American ended a drought stretching back to his win at the British Open last year, which came two months after he claimed his first major at the PGA Championship.

Schauffele, who won Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2021, finished on 19-under par after a seven-under final round of 64 containing eight birdies and one bogey at Yokohama Country Club.

He calmly rolled in a short putt to close out the win, then took his cap off to acknowledge the crowd and embraced his caddie.

"It feels good, it's nice to know I've still got it," said Schauffele, who struggled with injury earlier in the year.

"It was a rough year but my team dragged me through it."
