He became the rookie of the year on the European Tour and when he finally got the chance on the PGA Tour – then Jesper Svensson continued to shine.

The 28-year-old golfer finished strong in Hawaii and after three bogeys and seven birdies, he walked into the clubhouse with a total of twelve strokes under par.

A result that meant he finished tied tenth in his first tournament as a member of the PGA Tour.

The placement also earned him a nice sum of money: Over two million kronor was awarded to the Swede.

The winner was Canadian Nick Taylor after a playoff against Colombian Nico Echevarria. After the four rounds, both had landed 16 under par, four strokes better than Jesper Svensson.

Corrected: In an earlier version, Taylor's nationality was incorrect.
