NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., July 3 (UPI) -- Nick Watney's bogey-free round of 4-under 66 Sunday boosted him to his second title of the year, a two-stroke victory at the AT&T National.

Watney, who set a course record Saturday with an 8-under 62, finished at 13-under 267 -- two ahead of second-round leader and 2007 champion K.J. Choi.

The 30-year-old Watney used a front-nine total of 32 to grab sole possession of first place. He played the tourney's final 27 holes at 12-under par with 10 birdies, an eagle and no bogeys.

Choi double-bogeyed the 15th to fall two back, eventually registering a 3-under 67 to take second place at minus-11.

Sharing third place at minus-9 were Charles Howell III (66) and Adam Scott (68).
