CHINA’S Carl Yuan thinks he may have unlocked the secret to finding more success on the PGA TOUR after finishing tied fifth for his second top-10 of the season at the Valspar Championship on Sunday.

Yuan, who turned 27 on Thursday, chipped in twice en route to a closing 3-under 68 at Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course to finish on 8-under 276, four shots behind winner Peter Malnati who claimed an emotional two-stroke victory over Cameron Young following a 67.
