Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) – Joel Dahmen carded a 4-under 68 on Sunday to come from behind and win the inaugural PC Financial Open.<\/p>\n
Dahmen collected his first career win on the PGA Tour Canada at 16-under-par 272.<\/p>\n
Eugene Wong (69) and Brad Clapp (70) shared second place at 15-under, while Chris Williams (66), Olin Browne, Jr. (70) and John Catlin (70) tied for fourth at minus-13.<\/p>\n
Third-round leader Jack Newman tripped to a 2-over 74 during his final round at Point Grey Golf and Country Club to fall into a share of seventh with Matt Harmon (66), Ryan McCormick (67), Andrew Noto (67), David Byrne (68) and Kelvin Day (70) at 12-under 276.<\/p>\n
Newman entered the day with a 1-shot lead and remained atop the leaderboard until Clapp countered a bogey at the third with birdies at the first, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth to move into the lead at 17-under.<\/p>\n
Newman had followed birdies at the first and seventh with a bogey at the eighth to sit at minus-15.<\/p>\n
After Newman bogeyed the 10th to hand Clapp a 3-shot advantage, a 2-shot swing at the 11th pulled Newman back within one as he rolled in a 10-footer for birdie and Clapp missed a short par putt.<\/p>\n
Newman would later bogey the 14th before a double-bogey at the 16th dropped him well off the pace.<\/p>\n
Dahmen, meanwhile, posted birdies at the third, seventh, 10th, 11th, 12th and 15th around bogeys at the fourth and eighth to meet Clapp at 16-under.<\/p>\n
Dahmen handed Clapp the outright lead with a bogey at the 16th, but Clapp followed with a bogey at the 17th to also fall to minus-15.<\/p>\n
With Dahmen and Clapp entering the 18th tied at 15-under, Dahmen broke free with a 2-putt birdie to claim the win.<\/p>\n
Wong had just bogeyed the 18th hole in the penultimate group to finish at 15- under.<\/p>\n
NOTES: Dahmen collected $27,000 with the win … Dahmen’s previous best finish on tour was a share of third place at the 2012 Dakota Dunes Casino Open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
