With just one week separating The Open and the USPGA Championship, many of the world’s best chose to recharge their batteries instead of competing in this week’s Canadian Open. Nevertheless, the excitement of another Sunday showdown didn’t disappoint.

Having not competed in last week’s Open Championship, Vegas held a six-shot lead going into last weekend only to eventually lose out by three. But this time it was completely different. On an engrossing Sunday, Vegas started five shot behind the overnight leader but sprinted out of the pack with five birdies in his first six holes. With the lead changing countless times on the day, the 31-year-old finished his round in fine style – birdieing the final three holes for an eight-under-par 64, and in the processing setting the clubhouse target at 12-under-par.

With several contenders still left on the course, many thought a play-off looked likely. In the end, no-one could quite mount a challenge worthy enough of knocking Vegas off his perch. With this win, the Venezuelan secured his second PGA Tour victory and a place in next week’s USPGA Championship.
