Canadian Mike Weir broke a victory drought of over three years by making a six-foot putt on the 18the hole for par to win the Fry's Electronics Open.

It was Weir's first win since the 2004 Nissan Open and the eighth PGA Tour title of his career.

"It's unbelievable, I can't put it into words," Weir said. "It has been a long time coming, about three-and-a-half years, and I've put a lot of hard work in."

The hard work has included a swing change that set Weir back before he could move forward.

Weir was ranked as high eighth in the world in 2004 but started to slip.

He was 48th entering this week but figures to move up after the win.

"Over the last eight or nine months, it has started to feel better all the time," Weir said of his swing. "The last month or so, it has been feeling really good and to get a win here is great."

With a two-under-par 68, Weir finished at 14-under 266, one shot ahead of Australian Mark Hensby.

Hensby led by one after eight but a bogey at nine dropped him into a tie for the lead.

Weir then birdied 10 to grab the lead by a shot and took the lead for good with a birdie at 15.
