DALLAS — Sung Kang rolled in a 23-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole to finally take the lead for good at the Byron Nelson, getting his first PGA Tour victory on a Sunday when he had to play 27 holes. That was the middle of three consecutive clinching birdies for Kang, the 31-year-old South Korean who lives in North Texas. In his 159th career PGA Tour start since his debut in 2011, Kang closed with a 4-under 67 to finish at 23 under and beat Matt Every and Scott Piercy by two strokes. 3-ranked player who now goes to Bethpage to defend his PGA Championship title, finished fourth at 20 under after a 65. Twice over the last two days, Every overcame deficits of at least four strokes and went ahead of Kang.
