Numerous golfers had a chance to win the 2015 Crowne Plaza Invitational on Sunday, but Chris Kirk managed to emerge victorious at Colonial.

Kirk fired a final-round 66, drained a clutch downhill putt on the par-four closing hole and posted 12-under par to beat a trio of world-class players, including Jordan Spieth, by one stroke.



The tournament was for the taking down the stretch, but not enough birdies were to be had despite a softer course and receptive greens. Conditions were still a bit blustery to complicate club selections and pose enough of a challenge to prevent anyone from standing out.

Kirk offset a dropped shot at No. 7 with a birdie at the ninth to make the turn in two under for the round. Birdies at the 12th and 15th holes helped push Kirk to 12 under, where no one else could catch him.

The Ben Hogan Award's official Twitter feed logged some of what Kirk had to say after he locked up the unique Colonial plaid jacket:



Gary Williams of Golf Channel offered his take on the thrilling finish:



Brandt Snedeker had a strong day and was overcoming a lot of wayward tee shots to the left to still score well. The former world No. 4 bogeyed three of the four par threes on Sunday, including a devastating three-putt at No. 13.

Up until that costly blemish, the tournament seemed to be Snedeker's to lose; he was up by two strokes following a birdie at the 11th:



Usually one of the game's best with the flat iron, Snedeker had birdie looks inside 20 feet on each of the last three holes and failed to convert any of them to settle for a 67 and a tie for second.
