Rocco Mediate cruised to his fifth US PGA Tour title, overcoming a record-tying performance by Mark Calcavecchia to win the Greater Greensboro Classic.

Mediate began the final round with a two-stroke edge and was never threatened. He carded a one-under-par 71 and finished the 72-hole event on 16-under 272 - three shots better than Calcavecchia.

Calcavecchia matched the PGA Tour record for putts during a 72-hole event with 93 but settled for his 24th career runner-up finish.

Last year in Phoenix, he set the scoring mark for a four-round event en-route to his 10th PGA Tour title.

This was Mediate's second win at Greensboro. He also won the event in 1993.

Calcavecchia was Mediate's only threat going into the final round, but he never got going, shooting a 72.

Tour rookies Jonathan Byrd and Chad Campbell tied for third on 278. Byrd had the low round of the day with a 66.
