 was walking down the 10th fairway when he assumed the lead at the Bay Hill Invitational in Orlando, Fla. Then he did something no one else could do Sunday: He kept it.

Goydos shot a 5-under-par 67 - his third of the week - and finished at 275, 13-under for four rounds and a stroke better that Jeff Maggert Jeffrey Allan Maggert (born February 20, 1964) is an American golfer.

"I wasn't concerned with winning or losing," Goydos said. "We wanted to take it one shot at a time and see what happened. And today it happened."

Goydos won $216,000 and became the second first-time winner on the PGA Tour in as many weeks.

He has the same large frame as Tim Herron, last week's winner at the Honda Classic who goes by "Lumpy." The nickname for Goydos is "Sunshine," because he always seems to find something wrong even in a good round.

There was little to fault on Sunday at the Bay Hill Club, where a stiff breeze and greens that had gotten more crusty and firm from a week of warm weather kept low scores at a minimum.

Goydos took the lead for good on the par-5 12th hole, when he overcame a poor wedge by knocking in a 25-footer for birdie.

Then he finally got some distance by hitting a 4-iron to within a foot at No. 14, a par-3 that derailed three other players trying to make a run at him.

"Even I couldn't miss that one," Goydos said.

That gave him a two-stroke lead, the first time anyone had led by that many all week. And he played with the coolness of a winner down the stretch with an 8-foot putt for a sand save at No. 15 and a chip to tap-in distance for par at No. 17.

"Paul was a tough guy to catch," said Maggert, who hit two in the water in taking a double bogey on No. 3, then didn't convert enough birdie putts to get back in range until it was too late.

"He didn't look like a first-time winner today," Maggert said. "He never got rattled."

Guy Boros and Patrick Burke, who had shared the lead at 10-under to start the round, faltered badly in the middle and shot 75s to finish at 281.

Neumann, who won the season-opening Tournament of Champions, started the final round four shots behind Ammaccapane but fired a 4-under-par 68 to beat Cathy Johnston-Forbes by one stroke at 12-under-par 276.

Ammaccapane, playing her first tournament this year, went from 12-under to 7-under in a four-hole stretch that included bogeys on Nos. 6, 7 and 8 and double bogey on No. 9. She made two more bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine and finished at 285 after a final-round 81.

A final round of par would have enabled her to tie Neumann.

At last: Jim Colbert won for the first time in California, firing a 3-under-par 68 to give him a two-shot victory over Bob Eastwood in the $1 million Toshiba Senior PGA (1) (Professional Graphics Adapter) An early IBM PC display standard for 3D processing with 640x480x256 resolution.

The win was the 14th for Colbert on the Seniors Tour and was worth $150,000. Colbert, 55, won seven tournaments on the regular PGA Tour before joining the Seniors Tour.

Colbert had rounds of 68 and 65 in the first two rounds. He finished the 54-hole tournament at 201.
