Sweden's Carl Pettersson captured the US PGA Canadian Open title on Sunday, firing six birdies in eight holes to overtake American Dean Wilson for a one-stroke triumph.

Pettersson, coming off a tournament-record 60 in Saturday's third round, fired a three-under par 67 Sunday to complete 72 holes on 14-under 266 and defeat Wilson, the leader by four strokes when the day began.

The Swede took bogeys at the fourth and seventh holes and Wilson appeared to be in command but Pettersson closed the front nine with a pair of birdies, birdied the 11th and ran off three birdies in a row starting at the 13th.

Wilson stumbled with bogeys at the 12th and 14th to hand Pettersson the lead, falling two strokes off the pace with the European's birdie at 15.

Both men parred the 16th and 17th and the 18th, playing the toughest hole of the week, ended with a par for Wilson. That allowed Pettersson the luxury of a closing bogey being good enough to capture the title at the 5.1 million-dollar event.

England's Luke Donald was third, two strokes off the pace.

Sharing fourth on 270 were South Korean Charlie Wi, Australian Greg Chalmers, Americans Michael Letzig, Charley Hoffman, Matt Kuchar, Jeff Quinney, Bryce Molder and Bob Estes as well as South African Tim Clark.
