David Toms became the seventh multiple winner on the PGA Tour this season after firing a seven-under-par 64 to pull away for a three-stroke victory at the St Jude Classic in Memphis on Sunday.

Toms finished the birdie-fest with a 72-hole total of 20 under par at 264 - the third-best score in the 46-year history of the event.

The other two also came at the TPC at Southwind, which has hosted the tournament every year since 1989.

Through 25 events this season, seven players have combined for 16 wins. Davis Love III and Mike Weir have three titles each, with Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Kenny Perry and now Toms claiming two each.
