Lahiri 53rd as Poston wins Wyndham Championship

GREENSBORO: Anirban Lahiri closed the week at Wyndham Championship with a round of 70 to finish Tied-53rd on Sunday evening. Lahiri was going well at two-under with three birdies against one bogey, but two bogeys on the back stretch to finish at 70. He totaled eight-under 272.

JT Poston finished bogey free over four rounds and totaled 22-under to win his first PGA Tour title ahead of Webb Simpson at 21-under, and overnight leader Byeong Hun An at 20-under.

Poston’s bogey-free winning achievement over 72 holes tied Henrik Stenson’s two-year-old tournament record at 22-under 258, and became the first player since Lee Trevino in 1974 to win a 72-hole stroke-play event on TOUR without any bogeys or worse.

“I probably haven’t had that many bogey-free rounds this year,” Poston said. “To be able to do four in a row is pretty special, and finish it off with a 62 on Sunday is pretty awesome.”He finished with three straight pars to win.
