Palm Harbor, FL (AHN) - Sean O'Hair shot a 2-under 69 and took advantage of Stewart Cink's meltdown to win the PODS Championship on Sunday for his second career PGA Tour victory and his first since his rookie season in 2005.

The 25-year-old O'Hair finished at 4-under 280 and a two-shot victory, earning a trip to the Masters and a spot in the $8 million World Golf Championship at Doral.

O'Hair had slumped to No. 75 in the world, but with this weekend's earnings, he jumps into the top 40 in the world and earns a spot in the Masters and Doral.

O'Hair couldn't have done it without a collapse from Cink, who lost four shots in four holes. He wound up with a 74 to finish in a six-way tie for second.

Cink finished in a six-way tie for second with John Senden, Ryuji Imada, George McNeil, Troy Matteson and Billy Mayfair.

O'Hair, who failed to make the cut here the last two years, was the only player to shoot par or better all four rounds.
