FORT WORTH, Texas — Jordan Spieth finally has a win at home in the Lone Star State.

Spieth won the Dean and DeLuca Invitational at Colonial after birdieing the last three holes Sunday for a 5-under 65, including a chip-in from behind the 17th green following a fortunate bounce off a marshal. He punctuated his first PGA Tour victory in Texas with a closing 34-foot putt when he needed only a bogey to win.

It was the eighth career win for Spieth, the world’s No. 2-ranked player. He will try to defend his U.S. Open title in three weeks.

At 17-under 263, Spieth finished three strokes ahead of Harris English (66). Webb Simpson and Colonial member Ryan Palmer tied for third, both shooting 68 while in the final group with Spieth to finish at 13 under.

CHAMPIONS TOUR: Rocco Mediate holed out from a greenside bunker for birdie on the par-3 17th to wrap up a record-setting, wire-to-wire victory in the Senior PGA Championship at Benton Harbor, Michigan.

Smoking cigars during the round, the 53-year-old Mediate closed with a 5-under 66 for a three-stroke victory over two-time defending champion Colin Montgomerie.

LPGA: Ariya Jutanugarn, 20, became the first player in three years to win three straight events, closing with a 5-under 67 for a five-stroke victory in the Volvik Championship at Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Jutanugarn finished at 15-under 273. Christina Kim was second after a 71.

EUROPEAN TOUR: Chris Wood won the BMW PGA Championship by one stroke in Virginia Water, England, for the biggest victory of his career, taking advantage of third-round leader Scott Hend’s collapse.
