Canada's Taylor Pendrith has won THE CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

It's his first victory on the PGA Tour.

Pendrith, from Richmond Hill, started the day leading the tournament by a shot.

American Ben Kohles had taken the lead in the fourth round but bogeyed the par-5 18th hole to open the door for Pendrith.

The Canadian took full advantage, dropping a nearly three-foot putt for birdie.

Pendrith shot a 4-under 67 to finish 23-under overall.

More to come.
