SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) _ Canada’s Mackenzie Hughes won the Price Cutter Charity

Championship on Sunday for his first Web.com Tour victory and a likely spot on

the PGA Tour next season.



The 25-year-old Hughes, a former Kent State player from Hamilton, Ontario,

birdied the final hole in hot conditions at Highland Springs for a 6-under 66

and a one-stroke victory over Richy Werenski.



Hughes finished at 24-under 264 and earned $121,500 to jump from 88th to 14th

on the money list with $165,248. The top 25 after the final two regular-season

events will earn PGA Tour cards.



Werenski eagled the par-5 18th for a 66.



Hughes laid up on the 18th, and hit his 108-yard third shot to a foot.



Kevin Tway was third at 21 under after a 67.
