Camilo Villegas capped a dominant performance at the Honda Classic by shooting the lowest ever score since the tournament moved to its new home at the PGA National in Florida in 2007.
The Colombian, who uses
Cobra golf equipment, led by three strokes heading into the final round and despite stuttering on the back nine, wound up a five-shot victor over Anthony Kim.
Villegas finished with a two-under-par 68 to go alongside two earlier rounds of 66 and a 67 to claim a third career victory on the PGA Tour.
He said: "I've had good vibes all week. I've been working hard on my game. I've been working hard on my attitude. I've been excited about playing golf. You've got to be motivated to play good.
"I had a couple of hiccups there in the back nine, but winning golf tournaments is always tough. I just kept plugging. I kept hitting good shots."
Villegas dropped three shots on his closing nine holes, but his 13-under-par total was the best since the tournament's change of venue three years ago and was four strokes lower than that registered in 2009 by YE Yang.
The 28-year-old had previously won the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship on the PGA Tour, both in 2008, and has now climbed to 12th in golf's world rankings.
Nike golf irons user Kim bounced back from a 73 on day three in Florida with a 67 that was enough to move him up four positions to finish second.
Justin Rose made a positive step towards moving back into the world's top 50 as birdies on his opening four holes set up a 64 to take third.
Meanwhile, Kim's fellow
Nike golf clubs user Paul Casey shared fourth with Vijay Singh.
On the European Tour, Noh Seung-yul conjured up a inspired par at the final hole to seal a one-stroke victory over KJ Choi in the Maybank Malaysian Open.
The South Korean teenager hit his
golf ball down a fairway running parallel to the 18th off the tee then struck his second shot onto a cart path next to the practice putting green.
However, after chipping to four feet, he holed the resulting shot with his
golf putter to gain a first victory since 2008.
Noh, who shot a four-under-par 68 to gain tournament total of 14-under-par, told the European Tour website: "Coincidentally, when I was playing a practice round with KJ earlier in the week he asked me when my last win was and when I told him it was in 2008 he said 'isn't it about time you won?'
"For it to happen this week, I couldn't think of a better situation."
Choi had earlier birdied the final hole to enter the clubhouse at 13-under-par, while Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Soren Hansen and Rhys Davies all finished a further shot adrift in a tie for third.
