John Senden wins Valspar Championship

John Senden wins the Valspar Championship in Florida by one shot.

John Senden has won the Valspar Championship at the Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida by one shot.

The Australian's birdie-birdie-par finish over the final three holes saw him claim his second title on the PGA Tour and his first in eight years.

The 42-year-old found himself in the lead after a bogey at the 15th and took advantage of that thereafter.

Senden chipped in from around 70 feet away on the 16th green and followed that up with a putt at the next.

Kevin Na could have pipped him to the title, but the 30-year-old American failed to find the target during a 40-feet putt.

"I just love the way the course blows," Sky Sports News quotes Senden as saying.

"The scoring always stays under double figures here, and I felt if I could just stay in the moment that I was swinging well enough to go out there and give it a shake.

"I got a little bit busy in the mind going up the last hole. But I managed to hit a nice second shot and the putt was really the icing on the cake when it went down to around two inches."

American Scott Langley finished third in the tournament, one shot behind Na.
