Adam Schenk battled through blustery conditions in Sunday's final round to capture the Bermuda Championship for his first US PGA Tour title.

With winds gusting up to 40 mph, the 33-year-old American fired a level par 71 to finish 72 holes on 12-under 272 at Port Royal in Southampton, Bermuda.

That was good enough for a one-stroke victory over countryman Chandler Phillips.

"I can't believe it's over," Schenk said. "It seemed like it was the longest day ever but it also seems like it just started. I just kept plugging along."

Schenk sank a clutch five-foot par at the 18th hole after firing his approach over the green.

After years of imagining putts to win titles in the barn of his family's Indiana sod farm, Schenk said, "To see one go in was something I'll never forget."
