LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., Oct. 22 (UPI) -- With a 7-under 65 Sunday, Joe Durant won the PGA's Funai Classic at Lake Buena Vista, Fla., by four shots over Frank Lickliter (62) and Troy Matteson (70).
Durant's final total was 25-under 263. Matteson, the leader after Saturday's second round, finished at 21-under 267, tied with Lickliter.
