Robert Damron shot a 67 to join Hank Kuehne in a tie for second at 269. Last year's winner Mark Hensby had a 64 Sunday to finish one shot further back along with Wes Short and third-round leader J.L. Lewis.

O'Hair, 22, was five shots down at the start of Sunday's play.

Second at the Byron Nelson Championship, O'Hair had to save par out of a hazard on the final hole to capture his first PGA title and a bid to play in next week's British Open.
