American Charley Hoffman has ended another long title drought with victory in the US PGA Tour’s season-closing Mayakoba Classic in Mexico.

Hoffman rallied from a three-shot deficit starting the final round, shooting a five-under 66 for a one-shot victory over countryman Shawn Stefani (69) with a 17-under 267 total.

It was Hoffman’s third career victory on the PGA Tour.

He had gone 105 starts between his first and second victory, and this time he went 108 starts for his next win.

“It’s been a while,” Hoffman said. “I kept calm and kept hitting good shots.”

He referred to it as a low-stress round, with a few exceptions, including the final hole on the El Camaleon course at this Mexican resort.

Stefani made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 17th to get within one shot.

Stefani then hit into a fairway bunker and hit sand wedge some 50 yards short of the green. Hoffman hit driver that rolled up against the base of a tree, which forced him to play a left-handed shot back to the fairway.

Hoffman pulled his approach some 30 feet left of the hole. Stefani’s pitch came up woefully short, and he chipped to 5 feet. That allowed Hoffman two putts for the win, and he rolled his par putt to within 18 inches for a tap-in bogey.

New Zealand younster Danny Lee ran off seven straight birdies on the front nine to take the lead, but the former US Amateur champion couldn’t hold on.

Lee didn’t make another birdie the rest of the way, dropping three shots on the back nine for a 67. He finished two shots behind in a tie for third with Andres Gonzalez, who had a 67 for his best career finish.

Jason Bohn, the 54-hole leader, shot 40 on the front to fall out of contention. He closed with a 74 and tied for seventh.

Greg Chalmers was the leading Australian, in a tie for 29th at eight under after a 70.
