Ryan Moore of Puyallup made it back to the winner’s circle on the PGA Tour, winning the John Deere Classic. For all the late pars and the closing run of 46 holes without a bogey, Ryan Moore thought the key to his victory was a 24-foot birdie putt on the fourth hole. It moved him to 20 under and kept him two strokes ahead of Morgan Hoffmann.

With Moore making three birdies on the front nine and another on the 10th hole en route to a 4-under 67, they had no chance. He won his fifth PGA Tour title by two strokes over Ben Martin.

The 33-year-old Moore finished at 22-under 262 at TPC Deere Run, making only one bogey in 72 holes. He won for the first time since successfully defending his CIMB Classic title in Malaysia in 2014.
