"The one at 13 really gave me the big boost I needed," he said. "It definitely freed me up to take advantage and finish it."

Playing relaxed, Todd birdied the par-3 15th when he rolled in a 25-foot putt and added a 10-footer at No. 17. He received a loud ovation as he walked up to the No. 18 green, where he two-putted for a final-round 67 and the tournament-record 262 total.

For Todd, it was his fifth professional win since graduating from the University of Georgia last year, but the $99,000 check was the biggest of his career by far. The big payday moved Todd from No. 53 on the money list to No. 15, putting him in reach of making the PGA Tour if he can stay in the top 25 the rest of the year.

Leishman tied for second at 268 with Thompson, Jeff Klauk, Brian Smock, Ryan Hietala and Won Joon Lee, whose 64 was the best round of the day.

"It was frustrating, I couldn't get it close to the hole and my putter wasn't working," said Leishman. "But my turn will come."

Former BYU golfer Clay Ogden finished with a 5-under-par 66, which put him in a group of six golfers at 269 tied for 8th place. His $14,300 check didn't match his Utah Open first prize of a year ago, but the main thing for Ogden was the chance to play again at the Boise Open this week. The top 25 finishers automatically get into the following week's tournament.

"The goal was top 25, but I was hoping to get in the top 10," said Ogden. "I was just trying to play well and make some birdies."

Farmington's Daniel Summerhays, who is already exempt for the year, had a chance to finish in the top 25, but made a double-bogey 5 on the par-3 18th hole to finish with a 69 and a 9-under-par 275 total. He won $2,750 for his 35th-place tie finish.

Former BYU golfer Bobby Clampett, who is gearing up for the Champions Tour, had his worst round of the week, a 73, and finished in a tie for 47th place at 277.
