An eagle on the last hole, his fourth of the event, offered American Daniel Berger the title at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, counting for the North American circuit, on Sunday on the Pacific Rim, near Carmel, Calif. .
As his tied compatriot Maverick McNealy mentally prepared to fight him for the play-off victory, it was in the most beautiful way that Berger won the 4th PGA tournament of his career at 27.
His second eagle of the day.
His fourth eagle of the tournament.

Two eagles at 18
His putt of just over nine yards, on that par 5, allowed him to finish in the lead with a total of -18, two strokes better than McNealy, who had joined him in the lead a few minutes earlier thanks to a birdie placed in the same spot.
On Sunday, the 15th in the world will have managed two eagles, on this 18th hole, therefore, and on the 2nd.
Just like Brooks Koepka a week ago to win the Phoenix Open.
But Berger did two more in previous laps: one on the 4th Saturday and a first Friday on the 6th.
"I have certainly just had one of the best performances of my life, I have worked so hard the last few months, it feels good to be rewarded," he commented.
The day before, he was a length behind Jordan Spieth, who was less lively during this last day.
He committed three bogeys and made five birdies for a total of -15, and tied for 3rd place with Patrick Cantlay.
