Gomez gets first PGA Tour victory

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Fabian Gomez of Argentina won his first PGA Tour title Sunday at the St. Jude Classic, beating England’s Greg Owen by four strokes.

Gomez, 36, started the round tied with Owen atop the leaderboard at 9 under with 23 players within four strokes. Gomez shot 4-under 66 for a 267 total. He carded a five birdie-one bogey round for his first PGA title in his 70th start. His 2015 season already features three top 25s.

Taking home the winner’s check of $1.08 million is a nice turnaround for Gomez who had to earn back his tour card through the Web.com Tour last year.

Owen finished with a 70-271.

Spokane native Alex Prugh shot a 69 to finish 1 under and in a tie for 40th.
