Golf:PGA Tour veteran Kenny Perry claimed his second victory of the year and jumped to the top of the FedEx Cup standings as he won the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.

Perry, 48, shot a final-round seven-under-par 63 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, to reach 22 under par for the tournament, three shots clear of David Toms, who closed with a 65 and Paul Goydos - the leader after 54 holes.

Ryan Moore (64), Hunter Mahan (64) and Ben Curtis (65) tied for fourth.

Perry, this year's Masters runner-up, won his 12th tournament since his 40th birthday in August 2000, his 14th in total and added to the FBR Open title he sealed at TPC Scottsdale, Arizona, back in February.

He had started the day a shot behind Goydos but as the overnight leader got off to a steady start, his veteran playing partner in the final group managed birdies at the par-four second and par-five sixth.

Goydos grabbed his first birdie at the par-four seventh but the lead changed hands at the next hole, a par three, which Perry birdied after dialling in off the tee to inside three feet and Goydos bogeyed after missing the green.

The gap widened further at the par-four 10th when Perry birdied and Goydos bogeyed to slip to 15 under while David Toms, in the penultimate group, birdied the 11th and John Merrick birdied the 12th almost simultaneously to assume a tie for second at 16 under.

Toms added birdies at 13, 15 and 16 while Goydos finished eagle, birdie, par, birdie but Perry clinched the title with further birdies of his own at 11, 15 and 17.

Tag Ridings and Casey Wittenberg finished in a tie for seventh at 16 under while Scott Verplank shot an eight-under-par 62 to get to 15 under for a tie for ninth with Bo Van Pelt.

US Open champion Lucas Glover claimed a tie for 11th place six days after his Bethpage Black heroics with a final-round 65 to join Merrick (69) and Anthony Kim (67) at 14 under.

Bubba Watson posted a 63 to get to 13 under in a tie for 14th with DJ Trahan, Boo Weekley and 50-year-old Michael Allen.

Greg Chalmers of Australia finished as the highest-placed international player after closing with a four-under 66 to end the week at 11 under in a tie 19th.

Sergio Garcia of Spain closed with a 66 to finish the event at seven under, tied for 43rd.
