Scott Brown used the strength of a two-under final round to surpass Fabian Gomez—as well as hold off Jordan Spieth—and take home the 2013 Puerto Rico Open title.

The tournament's inevitable denouement came on 18, where Brown sealed his victory over Fabian Gomez once and for all.

On the course's final hole, the biggest stage of the week, Brown came up big where Gomez came up small. He knocked in a birdie that, coupled with Gomez's bogey—the result of an unfortunate bunker shot and subseque...
