(Reuters) - Steven Bowditch became the latest Australian to win the AT&T Byron Nelson when he secured an emphatic four-stroke victory in Texas on Sunday.

Bowditch survived a mediocre front nine before pulling clear with four back-nine birdies on his way to a five-under-par 64 at the TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving.

He tapped in his winning putt only a few yards from where he got married in 2011 in his adopted hometown, finishing at 18-under 259 for his second victory on the PGA Tour.
