PALM HARBOR, Fla., March 9 (UPI) -- Sean O'Hair shot a 2-under-par 69 to come from four shots back and win the PODS Championship at Palm Harbor, Fla., Sunday -- his second PGA Tour victory.

The 25-year-old golfer from Lubbock, Texas, finished at 4-under 280 to win by two strokes over six other players.

"When I woke up this morning, I just felt like it was going to be a good day," said the 6-foot-2 O'Hair, who won $954,000.

Stewart Cink had led going into the final round but slipped to a 74 and was passed by O'Hair on the back nine.

Cink shared second-place with John Senden (67) Ryuji Imada (68), George McNeil (69), Troy Matteson (69) and Billy Mayfair (72).

O'Hair's other win was at the John Deer Classic in 2005.
