However, Lee, who had never won a PGA Tour title, sank a three-foot putt to par the 17th and eliminate Hearn, who recorded a bogey.

The 24-year-old struck four birdies and one bogey in regulation to finish on 13-under-par for the tournament.

As a consequence of his maiden win, Lee has gained qualification into the two remaining Majors of 2015 - The Open Championship and the PGA Championship - along with next year's Masters.

England's Greg Owen carded a final-round 67 to finish in a seven-way tie for third on 11-under.

Meanwhile, Tiger Woods renewed optimism that he could be rediscovering his best form after finishing with a bogey-free 67 to finish on seven-under.
