Austin Eckroat wins in Mexico for his 2nd PGA Tour title of the year

LOS CABOS, Mexico -- Austin Eckroat won the World Wide Technology Championship on Sunday for his second PGA Tour title of the year, shooting a 9-under 63 for a one-stroke victory over Justin Lower and Carson Young.

Playing in the group ahead of Lower and Young, Eckroat birdied the par-4 17th to open a three-stroke lead over Young, then finished with a bogey on the par-5 18th at Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante.

Eckroat locked up spot in the top 50 in the FedExCup Fall standings.

"I think it kind of validates the season that I had, just a great way to cap off and end the year," Eckroat said.
