Zach Johnson fired a five-under-par 65 to win the Sony Open on Sunday.
At 15-under 265, Johnson posted a two-stroke victory over David Toms and Adam Scott.
Charles Howell III finished fourth at 12-under 268.
Johnson entered the final round with a one-shot lead but was in a three-way tie at the turn. He started the back nine with consecutive birdies and added two more at number 14 and 18 to wrap up his fifth PGA Tour victory.
The 2007 Masters champion, Johnson picked up US$972,000 for the win and now has a victory in three consecutive seasons.
Toms and Howell III joined Johnson at 11-under entering the final nine holes, but Toms couldn't match Johnson birdie-for-birdie and Howell ended up bogeying 18 after consecutive birdies at numbers 16 and 17.
Johnson, the 2007 Masters champion, had three birdies and two bogeys on the front nine. He did not drop a shot coming in and made a 10-footer at the 14th to take a two-stroke lead.
Toms birdied 18 to close within one and Scott made a late charge playing a few groups in front and closed with birdies at numbers 13, 16 and 18 to finish at 11-under.
Johnson closed out the win with his third birdie of the week at the par-5 18th. He had an eagle putt from 33 feet that he lagged to about 18 inches and his easy birdie wrapped up a successful trip to the islands after a tie for sixth at the season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship last week.
