Australian golfer Jason Day has won his first tournament in nearly three years after claiming the World Cup at Royal Melbourne on Sunday.

According to Appeal-Democrat.com, Day's last tournament victory came at the Byron Nelson Championship on the PGA Tour in 2010, although he's had four top-five finishes in majors since 2011.

Adam Scott finished third after a 66, three strokes behind. Scott, trying to win his third tournament in a row, shot 75 on the opening day, including a nine on the 12th hole, and spent the rest of the tournament trying to catch up, the report said.

Day won 1.2 million dollars and Australia also captured the team portion of the World Cup, the report added.
