Jake Knapp didn’t have his A game on Sunday, Feb. 25. But after three days of birdie binges, an even-par finish was more than enough to get the job done.

Knapp carded a final-round 71, fended off Finland’s Sami Valimaki by two strokes and won the Mexico Open at Vidanta for his first PGA Tour title in Vallarta, Mexico.
