With numerous stars giving chase as he pursued his first PGA Tour victory at age 38, Jim Herman didn't let the pressure get to him in Sunday's final round of the Shell Houston Open at the Golf Club of Houston.

Herman fired a four-under 68 and chipped in for birdie at the par-three 16th to edge out Henrik Stenson by one stroke in Humble, Texas. He took home a winner's paycheck of $1,224,000 and so much more in terms of career opportunities.  

Check out the top earners from what was a magnificent conclusion to the tournament that precedes the Masters:



As the PGA Tour's official Twitter feed indicated, this tournament marked Herman's 106th career start. It certainly didn't show down the stretch. Herman punctuated his round with the aforementioned short-game magic at the 16th:



But that was hardly the only impressive shot the 191st-ranked player in the world hit throughout his final 18 holes.

Playing in the last pairing along with a young gun in 28-year-old Jamie Lovemark, who was also in search of a maiden tour win, Herman carded birdies at Nos. 2 and 4 to get off to a fine start. Then, on the par-four fifth, his tee shot found the hazard right of the fairway.

Instead of making a mess of that hole, Herman managed to get down in three strokes and dropped only one shot. It wound up being the only blemish on Herman's scorecard, as he made birdies at the par-four 11th and the par-five 13th preceding his epic chip on No. 16.

ESPN.com's Jason Sobel reacted to the commendable way Herman handled the unprecedented spotlight:



Stenson did his best to give Herman a run, but for all he's accomplished in his career, the strapping Swede has had his own difficulties getting into the winner's circle of late. He settled for second after a round of 68 that featured only one bogey at the long par-three 14th.
