LAS VEGAS — The birdie putt was still a foot away from the hole when Rod Pampling raised his right arm and thrust it in the air as the ball tumbled into the cup.

His victory Sunday in Las Vegas was a long time coming.

Pampling left nothing to chance by holing a 30-foot putt on the final hole at the TPC Summerlin to close with a 6-under 65 for a two-shot victory in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, his first PGA Tour title in 10 years.

The 47-year-old last won on the PGA Tour at Bay Hill in 2006. He lost his card and spent two full seasons on the Web.com Tour.

He was No. 451 in the world ranking.
