US TOUR:American Sean O'Hair overhauled a stumbling Stewart Cink to clinch his second PGA Tour title by two shots at the Tampa Bay Championship in Palm Harbour last night.
Three strokes behind the pacesetting Cink after the weather-delayed third round, O'Hair surged to victory with a two-under-par 69 on the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club.
The 25-year-old Texan grabbed the outright lead for the first time by ramming in a 32-foot birdie putt at the par-three 15th and could afford the luxury of bogeying the last for a four-under total of 280.
Cink, seeking his first PGA Tour title in more than three years, squandered an early four-stroke advantage with four bogeys and a double-bogey on his way to a six-way tie for second place with a closing 74.

US SENIORS:Bernhard Langer held a two-shot lead over Jay Haas six holes into the final round of the Toshiba Classic in Newport Beach, California. The German had picked up one shot to be on 13 under par. Des Smyth and Mark McNulty were well off the pace.
EUROPEAN CHALLENGE:England's Iain Pyman has set his sights on landing his first European Tour title after clinching victory at the Tusker Kenya Open on the Challenge Tour.
The Yorkshireman's final round of 68 at Nairobi's Karen Golf Club, for a 12 under par aggregate score of 272, was enough to hold off the challenge of Austria's Thomas Feyrsinger, who finished three shots back.
Pyman's triumph was the eighth of his Challenge Tour career but the 35-year-old, who pinpointed a "gutsy" round on Saturday as the key to his success, is yet to land a European Tour title.
