Bryson DeChambeau claimed his eighth career PGA Tour victory, winning by a length (-11) over England's Lee Westwood on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Very moved, he paid tribute to Tiger Woods who showed his support.

Arnold Palmer Invitational: Bryson DeChambeau tamed Bay Hill

DeChambeau dominated Bay Hill, winning his eighth North American Tour title, the first since his Major at the US Open last September. He has also proven himself to be one of the best - if not the best - difficult course player in the world. The Bay Hill monster was defeated on Sunday, averaging 4,6 more hits than in Round 3. Add to that his dominant performance at Winged Foot Golf Club and Bryson's muscles seem best suited to the toughest events.

The four players vying for the head of the tournament were reduced to two contenders when Westwood birdieed the 12 par-5 to tie DeChambeau's score. At 11 under par, the last pair were two strokes ahead on the field. They remained at a standstill until Westwood concluded the 14th with three putts.

Conners grabbed the 16 par-5 to briefly come back a stroke behind, but quickly bogeyed the 17. Meanwhile, DeChambeau made the 16 in the par and stayed one stroke ahead of Westwood, who missed a 2-yard birdie putt.

The two completed the 17th in the par and when Westwood put in a 2m putt for the par at the 18 it meant DeChambeau had to make his from 1,5m to seal the victory. What he did perfectly.

The best lap of this final day of the Arnold Palmer Invitational was undoubtedly DeChambeau's. While the average score of this final was 75,5 moves, his card of 71 (-1) was the lowest score of the day. After a bogey on the first hole, DeChambeau didn't miss a shot the rest of the round, making the par on his last 12 holes.

DeChambeau also had the best shot of the day, with a 345 yard tee shot on the 6 par-5.
