Keegan Bradley secured his first win on the PGA Tour by triumphing in a play-off against Ryan Palmer at the Byron Nelson Championship.

Bradley fired a final-day 68 - one of just nine sub-par rounds on Sunday - in unhelpful conditions to leave him at three-under. Palmer, who shot a 72, birdied the 18th to force a play-off, but his hopes of victory evaporated when he found water on the first sudden death hole.

World No. 203 Bradley, in his maiden year on the PGA Tour, had managed just two top-ten finishes all season before teeing it up at TPC Four Seasons on Thursday.

Joe Ogilvie finished in a tie for third with Ryuji Imada at two-under, while last year's winner Jason Day was fifth at one-under.

Sergio Garcia's torrid weekend finished with a 77 that took him to three-over for the tournament. The Spaniard kicked off the event with a pair of 66s, but the wheels came off with Saturday's 74 - and he was unable to recover 24 hours later. He succumbed to six bogeys and double-bogey, and when a birdie finally came at 16 it was his first for 36 holes.
