The Associated Press

Another lefty won the Colonial on Sunday, and it wasn't the Masters champion.

Steve Flesch, the only golfer with four straight rounds in the 60s, wasn't hurt by a late bogey and won the Colonial in Fort Worth, Texas, by a stroke over Chad Campbell.

A closing 3-under 67 came on Flesch's 37th birthday, and his winning total was 11-under 269.

It was just the second PGA Tour win for Flesch, and the victory came a week after he withdrew from the Byron Nelson Championship because of a sore back and mental fatigue.

Campbell, who charged into a tie for the lead with a course record-tying 61 Saturday, made a 5-foot birdie putt at the 433-yard 18th, and finished alone in second after a closing 68.

Stephen Ames had the best round of the day, a 64 that put him in third place at 271.

Craig Perks (68) was fourth, his best finish since his only win at the 2002 Players Championship.

Masters champion Phil Mickelson, the left-hander who won at Colonial in 2000, had a closing 74. He finished 1 over, tied for 35th.

Jesper Parnevik, who hasn't won in three years, was within a stroke of the lead when he started his final nine holes. He fell out of contention with a 41 on the back nine that included three bogeys, a triple bogey, double bogey and two birdies. His 72 left him tied for 14th at 3-under 277.

Grace Park, who took over the money lead from Annika Sorenstam, was second after a 68, while Becky Morgan, who had a four-shot lead after 36 holes, had a 1-over 72 and was at 275. Morgan was 13 under and had a three-shot lead through six holes but didn't have another birdie.
