MIAMI - 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 on Sunday.

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.
