Matthieu Pavon has conquered the Farmers Insurance Open with a truly dramatic end to the tournament. He made an incredible putt on the 16th to save par and maintain a two-stroke lead. He then missed a short putt on the 17th to go to the 18th with only a one-stroke lead and on the last hole he pulled out an exceptional birdie after missing the tee shot and the second stroke.
