After a first round of 75, Mark Calcavecchia was packed and ready to leave the PODS Championship ? but on Sunday evening he was celebrating the 13th win of his career.

A second round of 67 on the tough Copperhead Course at the Innisbrook Resort in Florida meant that the 45-year-old made the cut. He followed this up with a course record-equalling 62 which tied him for the lead with Heath Slocum. Despite bogeying two of the last three holes on Sunday, Calcavecchia?s final round of 70 was good enough for victory.
