Englishman finishes one shot off the lead in Sony Open

LUKE DONALD JOINT SECOND
BEHIND WINNER GOYDOS

Paul Goydos, a 42-year-old American, won the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club, Honolulu on Hawaii by covering the last four holes in two under par for a closing three-under-par 67 and a total of 14-under-par 266.
That won him the $936,000 first prize by one shot from Luke Donald and American Charles Howell.
Chicago-based Donald, pictured right, birdied the 13th and 18th for a final round of 69 while Howell bogeyed the 12th and 13th and then parred the last five holes for a 70.
It was Goydos' first US PGA Tour win in 11 years and only his second in all. He is known by his colleagues on the Tour as "Sunshine" - because he is usually a gloomy, self-deprecating character!
Paul had two early bogeys but birdied the 15th and 16th, bogeyed the 17th and got a crucial birdie at the last hole.
Sixteen-year-old Hawaii youngster Todd Fujikawa finished joint 20th on 275, closing with his worst round of the four, a two-over-par 72.
