Richard S. Johnson birdied three of his last four holes to shoot a 6-under-par 64 Sunday and win the U.S. Bank Championship for his first PGA Tour victory.

Johnson finished at 16-under 264 on the 6,759-yard Brown Deer Park Golf Course in Milwaukee. He is the sixth golfer from Sweden to win on tour and seventh first-time winner this season.

Johnson, the first-round leader, sank a birdie putt of 12 feet on the par-4 17th to break a tie with Ken Duke at 14 under. He then birdied the par-5 18th from less than 2 feet.

He needed that final birdie because Duke, playing in his threesome, also birdied the hole for a 65 to finish second at 15 under.
