Troy Merritt secured his first PGA Tour victory after an incredible performance at the Quicken Loans National. There may not be a more unlikely winner on the tour all year; Merritt came in to the tournament on the back of 5 straight missed cuts after all. 

 

Starting the final day in a tie for the lead, nobody would have blamed the 29-year-old if nerves got the better of him. Instead, he continued his blistering form from the previous day - his 61 was a tournament record - by birdieing the first hole before reaching the turn in 33, 3-under-par. Rickie Fowler was his nearest challenger, birdieng three of the final five holes to finish on 15-under-par. 

 

It wasn't a total that ever really looked like troubling Merritt, his 72-hole score of 18 under was a tournament record and brings him his much anticipated first career victory.

 

So, what was in Troy's bag?
