FORT WORTH, Texas -- Making big shots late after looking vulnerable, Nick Price shot a 3-under 67 Sunday to run away with the Colonial for his first PGA Tour victory in four years.
The 45-year-old Price finished at 13-under 267 for a five-stroke margin over David Toms and Kenny Perry.
Price also took a five-stroke lead into the round, but started the back nine just two ahead of Perry and Toms. Price regained control with birdies on Nos. 11, 12 and 14, while his closest competitors gave up strokes.
It was the 17th PGA Tour win for Price, but his first since the 1998 FedEx St. Jude Classic. He also won the Colonial in 1994, when he was No. 1 in the world and also won the British Open and PGA.
Toms (66) and Perry (67) finished at 8 under, and Dudley Hart, after his second 65 in three days, was fourth at 7 under.
