FORT WORTH, Texas -- Boo Weekley was at the 13th hole during the final round of the Colonial before he finally glanced at a leaderboard -- and saw his name on the top. It was at that par 3 surrounded by an often rowdy crowd that he also heard the loudest "Boo!" in quite some time. Weekley hit his birdie putt from about 22 feet, then swiped his putter in the air as if guiding the ball into the cup. He thrust the club above his head when the ball dropped to get him to 14 under, where he finished Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory in five years. "Thats when I realized, Wow, here I go. I need to do something, either hold on to it or try to make a couple of more birdies," Weekley said. "I knew I was hitting the ball too well just to hold on." With five consecutive pars after that, Weekly finished at 14-under 266 for a one-stroke victory over Matt Kuchar, the second- and third-round leader who had a closing 68. Defending champion Zach Johnson, who also won at Hogans Alley in 2010, shot 66 to finish third at 12 under for his first top-10 finish this season -- and fifth straight at Colonial. Graham DeLaet (74) of Weyburn, Sask., tied for 22nd at 6-under par. Both of Weekleys previous wins had been at Harbour Town, in 2007 and 2008. Like the Heritage winner, the Colonial champion gets a plaid jacket, though the 2008 Ryder Cup team member wasnt able to compare any differences between them. "I couldnt tell you, its been so long," said Weekley, who moved up to No. 55 in the world ranking, making him eligible for the U.S. Open. Weekleys check of just more than $1.1 million matched what he earned his previous 14 tournaments this season while making 12 cuts and finishing in the top 10 three times. He never trailed after consecutive birdies at Nos. 8-10, those coming about the same time Scott Stallings made double bogey at No. 15 to drop out of the lead. Kuchar, at No. 13 the highest-ranked player in the field, was 12 under after a 55-foot birdie putt at the 436-yard 12th hole. Kuchar punched his right arm into the air to punctuate the shot that got him within a stroke of Weekley for the lead. Johnson was at No. 17, where a 19-footer for his second consecutive birdie also got him to 12 under. Almost as quickly, their one-stroke deficit was back to two after Weekleys birdie at No. 13. "I played well, thats all you can do and whoever wins, tip of the cap," Johnson said. Stallings closing 66 put him in a tie for fourth at 11 under, with John Rollins (68) and Matt Every (69). The best round of the day was a 62 by Web.com Tour player Franklin Corpening, a Fort Worth native who grew up at Colonial and played at TCU. He finished at 8 under and tied for 14th, earning an automatic invitation to play again next year. Kuchar made an 11-foot birdie putt off the back fringe at No. 2 before a bogey on the next hole when he took two shots from a greenside bunker. Then came a steady stream of pars until rolling in that long putt at No. 12. He didnt have another birdie until a closing 20-footer for second place alone, his sixth career runner-up finish. "Its a bummer for me. This is a tournament, and this is a golf course, that I love," said Kuchar, a five-time PGA Tour winner. "Its difficult at the moment coming just one shot short but you cant control what other guys do." Weekley won the same week he went to see a doctor about the problem he has had recently maintaining focus in his left eye, sometimes causing bad twitches and making it problematic reading greens. "I had a few out there. It was coming and going in that wind," Weekley said. "I dont know whats going to happen. Were going to get home and work on it." Stallings had a 6-under 29 on the front nine, one off the course record, and was 13 under with a one-stroke lead when he got the 428-yard 15th hole. But he took three shots from inside a radius of about 5 yards after his approach shot from a left fairway bunker stopped behind the hole. His chip shot then hit the edge of a greenside bunker, rolling into the sand, and he failed to get out of there on his next shot before finally blasting to 6 feet. Weekley had just made an 18-foot birdie at No. 9 to get to 12 under. "It was kind of a make it, break it point," Stallings said. "Youve got to get up and down, especially with the guys with a lot of holes left." It was also at No. 15 where the only bogey of the day came for Johnson, who missed an opportunity to join five-time winner Ben Hogan as the only players to win Colonial more than twice. While on the easy par-5, 548-yard first hole, the long-hitting Weekley told his caddie that it was good to feel butterflies again. Weekleys 22-foot eagle chance at No. 1 stopped about 6 inches from the cup before he chipped in for another birdie from behind the third green. He sliced his tee shot out of bounds at No. 5 toward the Trinity River for a bogey and dropped another shot at the 437-yard seventh hole before starting his go-ahead birdie run with a 6-iron inside 4 feet at the 200-yard eighth hole. "It feels good to actually have butterflies again, knowing that Im in this, an opportunity to maybe win," Weekley said. "I might have shot 80 today. But I didnt. It was my time to win."Conor Sheary Jersey . And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a team is in a slump and is searching for answers.

Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. http://www.sabresteamstoreonline.com/authentic-casey-mittelstadt-sabres-jersey/ . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.

The Browns coaching search remains incomplete.SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- Honda says the results from the first day of running its engine upgrade were surprisingly encouraging as both McLarens finished Friday practice at the British Grand Prix in the top ten.Honda spent two engine tokens on updating the intake system on its internal combustion engine in the pursuit of greater efficiency and performance. Honda boss Yusuke Hasegawa said it was hard to gain a full understanding of the progress brought by the update, but that the end result was better than expected.Silverstone is a track that tests all aspects of the car, therefore it is still too early to confirm if our engine update has taken full effect, Hasegawa said. Both Fernando and Jenson struggled with the gusty winds and the low grip track, which destabilised the cars and made them difficult to drive.ddddddddddddHowever, even though Jenson was limited in FP2 running due to engine data issues, our days results were surprisingly encouraging, and we think we are heading in the right direction overall.Not surprisingly, we are expecting a rainy Saturday and Sunday, but we are hoping that we can reach Q3 without relying on changing conditions as we did at the Austrian GPFernando Alonso added: Its difficult to understand the effect of upgraded engine because we couldnt test it back to back with the old one, on a different track, but Im sure Honda will now be looking at the numbers and will confirm theres more power now than before.
