Korean-born Na claims first PGA title

South Korean-born American Kevin Na won his first US PGA Tour title of an eight-year career, firing a six-under par 65 Sunday to win the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Kevin Na poses with the trophy after his two-stroke victory after the final round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at the TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Na, playing only a 10-minute drive from his home, had been winless in 210 US PGA events before claiming the $756,000 top prize from the $4.4 million event by finishing 72 holes on 23-under 261, two strokes atop American Nick Watney.
