Jason Bohn clinches the Zurich Classic Title

Jason Bohn clinched his second PGA title by winning the Zurich Classic Tournament, a day after his birthday, on Sunday at New Orleans Classic in Avondale, Louisiana. The weather-hit tournament saw Bohn shooting an opening 65 in the previous rounds. He was leading in all the rounds after that. Bohn has finished his title drought after a long five years.

Bohn birdied three of the final fours holes for a 5 under 67 to oust Jeff Overton with a two stroke to put his claim to the title. Overton consistently challenged him firing a bogey-free of 66. However, Bohn unnerved by Overton’s challenge made birdie putts of 51/2 feet on No.15 and 22 feet on number 16 finishing with 18th for the fifth birdie of the round. Overton birdied the first, fourth and fifth of the 12 holes in the third round.

Overton said after losing the tournament that though he played beautifully,it was Jason who deserved to win the title. This title makes Jason riches by $1,152,000. Bohn who was struggling with injuries before returning to play added that it was a life-changing moment for him.

Overton finished second at 16. Troy Merrit finished third making two strokes less than Overton. Double US Champion Lee Zanzen finished at the fourth place.
