England’s Aaron Rai claimed his maiden PGA Tour title, winning the Wyndham Championship by two shots after leader Max Greyserman faltered late on.

Rai, 29, had trailed by four shots midway through the back nine in North Carolina but carded a closing 64 to finish on 18-under-par to seal victory.

Greyserman looked to be in a comfortable position when he holed his second shot to eagle on the par-four 13th hole.

But the American, 29, then suffered a quadruple bogey on the 14th after driving out of bounds.

A birdie at the next hole was followed by four putts on the par-three 16th to end his hopes of lifting the trophy.

He ended his tournament at Sedgefield Country Club on 16 under.

The final day saw most golfers play 36 holes after bad weather disrupted the previous days’ schedule.

Rai, who moved to 25th in the FedEx Cup standings, said his win was “truly a dream come true”.

He added: “I felt pretty calm. I knew the situation. I did just a good job sticking to what we do well.”

American J.J. Spaun and Japan’s Ryo Hisatsune tied for third place on 15 under.
