PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - After blowing a four-shot Todd lead, Hamilton recovered with birdies on his final two holes, stuffing an 8-iron into 4 feet on No. 18 to close with a 2-over 74 and beat Davis Love III by one shot Sunday in the Honda Classic.

Hamilton, who finished at 12-under 274, earned $900,000 and a two-year exemption on tour. The perks don't stop there. The 38-year-old tour rookie should easily move into the top 50 in the world ranking and qualify for the Masters.

Not bad for a guy who was living in obscurity on the Japanese tour last year, despite winning four times, and who spent the last 12 years toiling in the Far East.

Love (69) was the runner-up in the Honda Classic for the second straight time. Brian Bateman, who had never finished in the top 10 on the PGA Tour, had a share of the lead at 10 under when he finished with his 68. He wound up third and earned $340,000.
