Chris Kirk clinched a one-stroke victory at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial tonight to win his fourth PGA Tour title.

The American, whose 65 on Saturday propelled him into contention, carded a final-round 66 for what was his first triumph on Tour since a Deutsche Bank Championship success last September.

Brandt Snedeker and Masters champion Jordan Spieth, with final rounds of 67 and 65 respectively, joined Bohn in second place.
