Joseph ZuckerAug 23, 2015

Entering the final round of the 2015 Wyndham Championship, Davis Love III was little more than an outside contender to win. That changed after he shot a six-under 64 Sunday en route to his first PGA Tour win since 2008.

Love will take home nearly $1 million for his efforts as he'll claim the biggest share of the $5.4 million purse. Below, you'll find the payouts for the top-10 finishers, courtesy of ESPN.com:

According to Golf Channel, Love is the third-oldest PGA Tour winner ever at 51 years old. ESPN.com's Jason Sobel provided another measure to illustrate the gravity of Love's achievement:

When Love picked up the first PGA Tour win of his career in 1987, the entire purse for the event totaled $650,000, per ESPN's Darren Rovell. That illustrates how much prize money has exploded on the Tour in the intervening decades.

Golf Channel researcher Justin Ray also unearthed this cool statistic for the Tour veteran:

Having followed Love's career for years, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy was thrilled with the final result:

Love was on fire on the front nine. Between the second and sixth holes, he gained six strokes courtesy of four birdies and an eagle on No. 5. He followed that with another eagle on 15, which moved him into sole possession of first place (via the PGA Tour):

When Love completed his round and headed for the clubhouse, the biggest question was whether anybody would be able to catch him.

Scott Brown was at 16 under as he walked up to the 18th tee. Any chance of forcing a tie looked gone after Brown's approach, which landed 59 feet from the cup. His birdie putt missed by about 10 feet, and he subsequently bogeyed the hole to fall to 15 under and into a tie for third.

Jason Gore also looked like he might move into at least a share of the lead after an eagle on 15. With pars on 16 and 17, Gore left it all to do on No. 18. He nearly accomplished the impossible, with his birdie putt just inches off the mark (via the PGA Tour):

For many golf fans, Sunday's final round was solely about whether Tiger Woods would capture his first PGA Tour win since the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

Woods only shot a two-under 68 in the third round but remained a reasonable two shots back of Gore after 54 holes. Still, the 14-time major champion was disappointed with how the day played out.

"It was a grind today," he said Saturday, per ESPN.com's Bob Harig. "Like yesterday, kept leaving myself above the hole seemed like on every hole. I had to putt so defensively because of it. I couldn't get on the run that Jason and Jonas did. I just didn't put myself in the right spots."

Even after all of his injuries and bouts of inconsistency, you expected Tiger to mount a serious challenge in Round 4.

Instead, he struggled Sunday from start to finish. He was even par on the front nine, and a triple-bogey on 11 all but ended his title bid. Woods had a particularly difficult time on the green throughout, which was an issue on the back half of his third round as well, per Ray:

Tiger did close out his day with a flourish, stringing together birdies on 13, 14 and 15, while carding a birdie on 18 as well. Woods' approach on the last hole was one of his better shots in the tournament (via the PGA Tour):

By ending up in a tie for 10th, the 39-year-old will miss out on the FedEx Cup Playoffs. He needed to finish in at least second place in order to qualify. That outcome looked highly unlikely entering the tournament, so the fact Woods got close at all was a pleasant surprise.

CBSSports.com's Will Brinson has a suggestion for what might help turn Tiger's luck around going forward:

Now, the eyes of the golf world will shift to the Plainfield Country Club in Edison, New Jersey, for the 2015 Barclays, which tees off Thursday.

Hunter Mahan is the defending champion, but Jason Day and Jordan Spieth will be the favorites as they hit the course for the first time since the PGA Championship. Getting a good result will also be important for Spieth as he looks to hold off Day and Bubba Watson to maintain his lead in the FedEx Cup standings.
