(CNN) -- American veteran David Toms returned to winning ways on the PGA Tour as a three-under-par 67 saw him secure the Colonial tournament in Texas by a single shot from Charlie Wi.
Toms finished on 15-under 265 after starting the final round one shot adrift of Wi, who was seeking his first win in America.
It was his first title since the 2006 Sony Open in Hawaii, while Wi was finishing runner-up for the fourth time on the PGA Tour.
Toms had looked set to run away with the tournament after he opened with two stunning eight-under rounds of 62 to carve out a seven-shot lead, but a third round 74 saw him overtaken by his final day playing partner.
It just took a lot of guts. That's what I got by on

Toms hit the front with an eagle on the 11th to a birdie for Wi and was never headed despite a scare when he bogeyed the 17th.
Wi had the chance to force a playoff on the 18th but missed a 45-foot birdie putt.
"It just took a lot of guts. That's what I got by on," Toms told AFP.
"I played a great round of golf," Toms said. "And Charlie played great. He made putt after putt when he needed to," he added.
Australian Stuart Appleby clawed his way to within a shot of the leading pair, but a pair of bogeys then a triple bogey on the 14th ended his charge.
Bo Van Pelt fired a 65 to finish third on 270, one stroke ahead of fellow American Zach Johnson and two strokes ahead of another home player Chez Reavie and Sweden's Robert Karlsson.
