Brandt Snedeker, who won the event in 2013, had the 54-hole lead at nine under. He was the last hope to match Vegas but pulled his second shot on the par-five 18th, which ultimately prevented him from tying Vegas with an eagle.

Despite a solid one-under 34 on the front nine in which he overcame an opening bogey, Snedeker went to the 10th tee tied with three others: Steve Wheatcroft, Ricky Barnes and Martin Laird.

But Vegas pulled ahead thanks to three closing birdies, including two steely one-putt birdies on Nos. 16 and 17, as the PGA Tour showed:

He then two-putted the par-five last hole from more than 40 feet out to post a 12-under.

Vegas made his initial move early in the round, when he carded five straight birdies from Nos. 2 through 6.

Though playing earlier than most of the others in contention, young gun Jon Rahm barely missed an eagle putt that would have secured a tie for first on No. 18, burning the left edge as it passed the cup.

Web.com Tour insider Adam Stanley referred to the 21-year-old's immense upside, suggesting he'll be a winner on the PGA Tour soon enough:

Thanks to an eagle on No. 16 and a sand save on No. 17, Dustin Johnson could've joined Vegas at 12 under with a three at the last hole, but he left his eagle chip short. Snedeker also needed an eagle on the 72nd hole to tie, while Laird and Wheatcroft were in position to post 12-unders with birdies.

None of them could get the job done. Laird left himself too much work for the birdie, and Johnson missed the green with his second, while Wheatcroft had an untimely miscue from the left greenside bunker, via the PGA Tour:

On the par-four 17th, Wheatcroft plugged a lob wedge into the bunker on his second shot, setting into motion the conditions for a bogey-bogey finish.

Fox Sports' Tim Brando empathized with Wheatcroft's crushing conclusion to the round:

Like Wheatcroft, Barnes was pursuing his maiden PGA Tour win, but he missed a combined 34 feet, seven inches worth of birdie putts from Nos. 15 through 17 and found a fairway bunker down the left on the 18th hole, forcing him to lay up en route to a par.

Last among the top 10 finishers was Canadian amateur Jared du Toit, who had a marvelous run in Oakville.

The Arizona State golfer had the chance to become the first native champion of the tournament since 1954, trailing by only one stroke entering the last 18 holes. Unfortunately, du Toit didn't do enough in the final round, shooting a 71 to tie for ninth place.

Callaway Golf's Amanda Balionis highlighted how impressive the Canadian's performance was under the circumstances:

Past U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy vaulted into the clubhouse lead with a nine-under 63 after beginning the day at even par. Ogilvy made eagles on Nos. 16 and 18 to apply pressure to those who still had to play, but he fell short of what would've been his first win since the 2014 Barracuda Championship.

Next up on the slate is the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey.

World No. 1 Jason Day, who closed with a 67 Sunday and wound up in a tie for 14th at seven under par in his defense at Glen Abbey, is guarding the Wanamaker Trophy at the challenging venue. Baltusrol yielded a winning score of four under par in 2005, when Phil Mickelson won.

Mickelson is coming off a runner-up effort at The Open Championship and figures to be among the favorites, along with Day, Johnson, world No. 3 Jordan Spieth and No. 4 Rory McIlroy.

In light of his Canadian Open triumph, perhaps Vegas will be a dark-horse contender as a newly minted entry in the major field.

Post-Round Reaction

The PGA Tour's official Twitter feed provided footage of what Vegas had to say following his second tour win:

Wheatcroft spoke about how the bunker impacted his severe mishit at the 18th hole.

"I hit it kind of right where I wanted to [and] the club absolutely bounced off the sand. There was nothing in there," Wheatcroft said, per GolfChannel.com's Will Gray.
