Dwayne Pearman blew away the rest of the field to capture an unprecedented 14th PGA Championship at Tucker's Point by a massive 28 strokes ahead of his nearest rival.

The 45-year-old Ocean View pro, who plans to compete again on the Tour de las Americas and bid for a spot on the equally lucrative Canadian Tour this year, shot a final round six over par 76 to take his tournament total to 291.

Pearman began the final round with a comfortable 22 shot cushion and despite not carding a single bogey managed to stretch his lead and dominance in a tournament he seems to thrive in.

"My putting felt pretty good and I hit the ball a lot better the first three days than I actually scored," said Pearman, whose four-day total bettered his previous best in the tournament (293) set two years ago.

The multiple Bermuda Open champion shot a three more than 74 in the first round to take an early lead and increased his advantage on day two with a battling 69 — his best round of the tournament — before following up with 72 on day three to all but raise the trophy.

"I hit the ball really well and felt like I should've been under par every day, but obviously it didn't happen that way," added Pearman, who failed to capitalise on a few birdie putts on the final day.

"I had a few good chances, but didn't capitalise. I guess I was just going through the motions being so far ahead with nobody really chasing me.

"I was still trying to shoot under par, that was always my goal but it just didn't happen. But it's all good."

Belmont Hills pro Twilton Smith (273) and Tucker's Point head pro Paul Adams (320) finished second and third respectively.

Having got the 2008 campaign off to a solid start, Pearman is now switching his focus to March's Canadian Tour qualifier in Florida, but could possibly compete before then on the Tour de las Americas.

"I really want to get my Canadian Tour card back and hopefully play throughout the summer," he said.

"I think my game is really starting to come on. My swing has really been feeling good for the past month or so and also this week."

Pearman also intends to brush up on his short game.

"I think I have neglected my short game more than the last couple of years working on my long game," he added.

"I haven't been putting in as much time as I should on my short game and so this is what I am going to focus on this year.

"Your long game always comes and goes and it doesn't matter who you are because everybody makes mistakes.

"But you have to be able to recover when you do hit those bad shots and so your short game is just as important."
