Cook cruises to first PGA Tour win

London, November 20: Austin Cook claimed his maiden PGA Tour victory with a four-stroke win at the RSM Classic on Sunday.

The 26-year-old American rookie fired a final-round three-under 67 at Sea Island Golf Club to secure a comfortable win.

Cook finished at 21 under, four shots clear of J.J. Spaun (66), after carrying a three-stroke lead into the final round.

He carded four rounds in the 60s for the tournament, with his only blemish on Sunday coming at the par-four second on the Seaside course.

Cook was even for the day through nine after birdieing the seventh before picking up shots at three of his final four holes.
