Rocco's Mediate's win at the Frys.com Open is his first PGA Tour victory since 2002.

San Martin, Calif. -- Rocco Mediate holed out for eagle for the fourth straight day, hitting a pitching wedge approach from 116 yards that spun back into the cup on the par-4 17th Sunday en route to a one-stroke victory over Bo Van Pelt and Alex Prugh in the Frys.com Open.

The 47-year-old Mediate won his sixth PGA Tour title and first since 2002, finishing with a 2-over 73 for a 15-under 269 total on the CordeValle course. He had a hole-in-one on the par-3 third hole Thursday, holed out from 160 yards Friday on the par-4 fourth, and holed out from 111 yards Saturday on the par-5 15th hole.

Prugh shot a 69, and Van Pelt closed with a 71.

Mediate, whose career has been hindered by back problems, lost a 19-hole playoff to Tiger Woods at the 2008 U.S. Open Championship and had not finished higher than ninth since.
