GREENSBORO, N.C. — Aaron Rai took advantage of Max Greyserman’s late meltdown to win the Wyndham Championship by two strokes on Sunday, making the PGA Tour’s regular-season finale his first career win on the circuit.
Rai closed with a 6-under-par 64, with the 29-year-old Englishman making a 6 1/2-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th at Sedgefield Country Club to finish the 72-hole tournament at 18-under 262.
“It truly is a dream come true,” said Rai, who has two career wins on the Europe-based DP World Tour. “So many people have played a huge role in me being at this point.”
Greyserman, a 29-year-old former Duke player seeking his first PGA Tour win, closed with a 69 to finish alone in second on a day when everyone played 36 holes and some a few more after inclement weather washed out play on Thursday and delayed its start on both Friday and Saturday.
Rai was four strokes back after Greyserman holed out from 91 yards for an eagle on the par-4 13th, then had an unexpected share of the lead a hole later when Greyserman drove out of bounds and made a quadruple-bogey 8 on 14.
