LAS VEGAS, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Kevin Na claimed his first PGA Tour win on his 211th try Sunday, firing a 6-under-par 65 to win the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Na ended at 23-under 261, handily besting the tourney's scoring record of 263 and downing Nick Watney by two strokes.

Watney, who was tied with Na for the lead after three rounds, shot a 4-under 67 and came up a bit short in his bid to become the first three-time winner of the season on the PGA Tour. He finished at 21-under 263.

Sharing third place at minus-18 were Paul Goydos and Tommy Gainey, both of whom registered 3-under 68s.

Knotted one shot further back were Tim Herron (69), David Hearn (65), Carl Pettersson (68), Jhonattan Vegas (68) and Spencer Levin (68).
