American Harris English produced a superb final round of 65 to win the rain-affected OHL Classic at Mayakoba by four strokes.
It was the 24-year-old's second PGA Tour victory, his first coming at the St Jude Classic in Memphis five months ago.
English had to play a total of 29 holes on Sunday as the tournament made up for ground lost to inclement weather during Thursday first round.
A third round of 68 had left the Georgia native tied for second on 15-under-par behind long-time leader Robert Karlsson.
The duo were paired together in the final group but, despite an early bogey at the second, it was English who played much the more consistent golf and four birdies on the front nine ensured he stayed in touch with the Swede who boosted his hopes with an eagle at the fifth.
But the momentum swung towards English on the back nine after three birdies in the space of four holes between 10 and 13.
