IRVING, Texas, May 14 (UPI) -- Brett Wetterich became a first-time winner on the PGA Tour Sunday, taking the Byron Nelson Championship at Irving, Texas.
With a final round 2-under 68, he finished at 12-under 268, and beat Trevor Immelman by one shot.
"I was really happy for myself, but I was thinking about my brother," said Wetterich, whose older brother died three years ago.
"It was a good feeling. I wish he was here to see it. But hopefully he was smiling down on me. I hit a lot of fairways today," said Wetterich. "I was just trying to stay in the moment."
Immelman was a runner-up for the second straight week, finishing 11-under 269.
Third-round co-leader Adam Scott shot 1-under 71 in the final round and ended up tied for third place with Omar Uresti (68) at 10-under 270.
Chad Campbell (69) was alone in fifth place at 9-under 271.
