American Michael Thompson snapped a seven-year US PGA title drought on Sunday, making birdies on two of the last three holes to win the 3M Open by two strokes. Thompson, the 2012 US Open runner-up, rolled an impressive bunker shot within three feet of the cup at the par-4 16th and holed a 15-foot birdie putt at the par-5 18th to secure his first tour triumph since the 2013 Honda Classic.

"I don't know what to say. This is so exciting," Thompson said, his voice cracking with emotion as he fought back tears. "I played such good golf today. I stayed within myself. I played within myself. This means so much to me." Thompson fired a four-under par 67 in the final round to finish on 19-under 265 to defeat compatriot Adam Long by two shots after 72 holes at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. World number 218 Thompson, who said his family could not be with him to celebrate due to the coronavirus pandemic, last won 166 starts ago. His breakthrough booked the 35-year-old into next week's WGC Memphis event, next month's PGA Championship, the US Open in September and the Masters in November.
