Matteson, who was the Nationwide Tour's leading money winner last season, won for the first time on the PGA Tour.

"There were a lot of things riding, not just the tournament, but my job," said Matteson, whose top-10 finishes this year came in his last two starts. "I've been thinking about that all week. You just can't get it out of your head, no matter what you do."

Crane (65) and Chopra (66) were 21-under 266.

Frank Lickliter, who holed a long eagle putt at the 16th hole, finished alone in fourth place at 20-under 267.

The third round was completed Sunday morning after darkness forced the suspension of play on Saturday.
