Fredrik Jacobson has his first win in 188 starts on the PGA Tour. His two-putt for par on 18 gave him a one-stroke win over John Rollins and Ryan Moore.

Jacobson shot a 4-under-par 66 today, surviving the 63s that Rollins and Moore posted. Moore had a 4-foot putt for par on 18, but he missed and made bogey.

Michael Thompson was fourth at 18-under after shooting 62.

Jacobson made only one bogey all week, the 10th hole today, but he birdied 12 and 14 to get to 20-under. Moore tied him with a birdie on 16.

Jacobson, from Gothenburg, Sweden, has three wins in Europe. He was playing the Travelers for the fourth time: He tied for 48th in 2006 but missed the cut in 2007 and 2009.
