England's Greg Owen missed out on his first PGA Tour title after being outgunned in the final round of the St Jude Classic by Argentine Fabian Gomez.

Owen, 43, was the overnight leader alongside Gomez and carded a level-par 70 in the final round at TPC Southwind.

But Owen finished four shots adrift after the 37-year-old Argentine shot 66 to clinch his maiden PGA Tour victory.

Gomez dropped two shots behind Owen after seven holes, but pulled level at the turn and led from the 11th.

Five-time major winner Phil Mickelson, 44, finished in a five-way tie for third at eight under.

The American, who has won three Masters titles, one Open and one US PGA Championship, is aiming to complete the career Grand Slam of majors at this week's US Open.

Mickelson, a six-time US Open runner-up, joins a field of 156 at Chambers Bay in the state of Washington from Thursday.
