American Boo Weekley has won his maiden PGA Tour title by a stroke after chipping in to save par on the last two holes at the weather-delayed Heritage Classic in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Two off the pace after Saturday's third round, the 36-year-old Florida native carded a three-under-par 68 at the Harbour Town Golf Links for a 14-under total of 270.

Weekley, boosted by an eagle at the par-five fifth, overhauled early pacesetter Stephen Leaney of Australia before producing his spectacular finish over the wind-swept closing stretch.

Ernie Els birdied the last for a 70 and second place at 13 under, one stroke better than Leaney who double-bogeyed the par-four 16th on his way to a 68.
