Jim Colbert was declared winner of the Vantage Championship when rain washed out the final round of the senior event on the Tanglewood course at Clemmons, N.C.

Colbert, who held a two-shot lead at 132, 10 under par, after second-round play, collected $202,500 for the successful defense of his title in the richest event on the senior tour. The big payday enabled him to vault over Mike Hill and George Archer into second place on the seniors’ money-winning list. Lee Trevino has won $789,708, only $83,677 ahead of Colbert.

Jim Dent won $118,800 for his second-place Vantage finish at 134.
