Billy Andrade and Kris Tschetter parred the second playoff hole on Sunday to win the mixed pair tournament at Tarpon Springs, Fla.

Andrade and Tschetter two-putted from eight feet to beat Ed Humenik and Elaine Crosby for the title. Crosby missed a five-foot par putt that would have forced a third extra hole.

Each team finished the regulation 72 holes at 18-under-par 266. Andrade and Tschetter, the third-round co-leaders, shot a 67 in the final round while Humenik and Crosby closed with a 66.

Humenik and Crosby started the final round one stroke off the pace, but took the lead with a front nine of 33 and consecutive birdies at Nos. 10 and 11.

Defending champions Davis Love III and Beth Daniel posted a 68 to finish at 268, tied for third with the teams of Mike Hulbert-Laura Davies (66) and Buddy Gardner-Lynn Connelly (65).

Jim Colbert, who had set a course-record 61 the previous day, shot a two-under-par 68 on the Kaanapali North Course to win the Seniors tournament in Hawaii by two strokes over Dale Douglass.

Colbert’s winning total for the 54-hole tournament was 195.

Dale Douglass shot a 69 in the final round to finish alone in second at 197. George Archer shot a 67 and was third at 198.

Mike Standly shot a 69 to take a one-shot lead at 344 after five rounds of the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament at Haines City, Fla.

Standly has shot no worse than 71 over the first five rounds of the six-round tournament.
