GREENSBORO, N.C., Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Davis Love III Sunday was a two-shot winner at the PGA's Chrysler Classic golf tournament in Greensboro, N.C., breaking a three-year winless streak.

Love shot 6-under-par 66 in the final round and won the title with a total of 16-under 272.

"It really makes me feel good to win in my home state," Love, a native of Charlotte, told the Winston-Salem Journal. "This tournament has always been good to me and it feels great to win, especially after so long."

He collected his 19th PGA Tour victory, but only his first since winning The International in 2003.
