Korean golfer Bae Sang-moon earned his second career PGA Tour victory Sunday at the Frys.com Open in Napa, California.

Bae shot a 1-over 73 in the final round at Silverado Country Club but still finished the four-round event at 15-under 273 for a two-stroke win over Steven Bowditch.

Bae took home US$1.08 million for winning the PGA Tour's 2014-2015 season opener. He joined veterans Choi Kyoung-ju and Yang Yong-eun as one of three South Koreans with at least two PGA Tour wins.

Bae earned his first career victory at HP Byron Nelson Championship in May last year but didn't post a top-10 finish the rest of the season.

Bae opened the final round with a four-stroke lead and recorded his first birdie on the par-5 fifth. He made up for a bogey on the eighth with a birdie on the ninth and made the turn with a four-shot cushion over Hunter Mahan.

Bae stumbled with back-to-back bogeys on the 13th and the 14th, which put Bowditch, who'd finished his round earlier, within two strokes.

The South Korean saved par on the par-5 16th after finding the rough off the tee and closed out with two straight pars for the victory. (Yonhap)
