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.
Of the three players that finished one shot back on 11 under, Jason Bohn can feel the most disappointed after his impressive round-of-63 took him to the brink of a playoff.
Brandt Snedeker and Masters champion Jordan Spieth, with final rounds of 67 and 65 respectively, joined Bohn in second place.

England's Ian Poulter sat second behind overnight leader Kevin Na heading into Sunday, but an even-par 70 scuppered his hopes and he finished joint third on 10-under.
Na, who held the outright lead from Friday onward, carded a disappointing 72 to ensure that his tournament gradually declined, after 64, 66 and 69 in his first three rounds.
