Rinker played even par the rest of the way, and on the final hole he placed his pitching wedge approach shot 20-feet left of the hole. It wasn't exactly the shot he was looking for, but he still had a good look at birdie. The former PGA Tour player narrowly missed the putt to tie the amateur, Weeks. He finished at 5-under for the championship, in a tie with fellow professional David Good, of Lakeland. Good, also playing in the final group, birdied the final hole for a bogey-free 68, giving him a share of the low professional purse.
Gene Fieger's final round 72 saw him again fall short in his quest for a second title. He finished in solo fourth.
Defending Champion, Eduardo Herrera, of Windermere finished tied for seventh.
This is Weeks' second FSGA Championship, adding to his 2011 FSGA Mid-Senior Championship he captured at his home club, Bear Lakes Golf & Country Club.
