MILWAUKEE — Richard S. Johnson birdied three of his last four holes to shoot a 6-under-par 64 yesterday and win the U.S. Bank Championship for his first PGA Tour victory.

Johnson finished at 16-under 264 on the 6,759-yard Brown Deer Park Golf Course. He is the sixth golfer from Sweden to win on tour and seventh first-time winner this year.

Johnson, the first-round leader after shooting a 63, sank a birdie putt of about 12 feet on the par-4 17th hole to break a tie with Ken Duke at 14-under. He then birdied the par-5 18th from less than 2 feet.

He needed that final birdie to win because Duke, playing in his threesome, also birdied the last hole. Duke shot 65 to finish second at 15-under.

"It's been a great week," said Johnson. "It started out that first day. ... I made that hole-in-one and all of a sudden it felt like I could make some birdies."

Dean Wilson, a Castle High alum, fired a 65 and finished tied for third at 13-under 267. He won $208,000, along with Chad Campbell (65) and Chris Riley (66).

Johnson moved up 110 spots on the FedEx Cup points list, from No. 221 to No. 111. He also earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
