Kevin Kisner held his nerve over the back nine in Georgia to secure his maiden PGA Tour title with a six-stroke victory at the year-ending RSM Classic.
The 31-year-old American had teed off on Sunday leading by three strokes, which he extended to six courtesy of a brilliant outward half of 30.
His return journey was a more cautious 34, with a closing 64 proving too good for his nearest challenger Kevin Chappell.
It was Kisner's second straight six-under-par round, with his final 36 holes featuring just a single bogey - which arrived at 14 on Saturday.
In what was his 109th tournament start on Tour, Kisner's victory ended a sequence of four runner-up finishes - all during 2015.
This included three play-off defeats, one of which came in The Players Championship at Sawgrass in early May.
"I was just playing so well all year, I knew that one day it was going to happen where I would make all the putts on Sunday and I did it today on the front nine," said Kisner.
"I hope it's just opening the bucket and the floodgates are open. You got to believe you can win on Thursday and I hope this catapults me into believing that every week."
As for Chappell, his 67 on Sunday was enough to give him second spot on his own, ahead of third-placed Graeme McDowell.
The Northern Irishman had been chasing back-to-back successes, following his victory in Mexico just seven days ago.
The 36-year-old closed with a 67, although McDowell did not help his cause at the 16th hole where he needed two attempts to escape a greenside bunker, which led to his first bogey in 46 holes.
