Stephan Jaeger won the Texas Children's Houston Open for his first career PGA Tour victory on Sunday at Memorial Park Golf Course.
Jaeger made par on nine consecutive holes on the back nine, shooting 3-under 69 to finish 12 under for the week. Six players finished in a tie for second at 11 under, including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
Scheffler had a 5-foot, 4-inch putt to tie Jaeger on the 72nd hole Sunday. Scheffler missed, his first blemish from inside 7 feet on the greens all weekend.
