Paul Goydos survived more than just the rest of the field Sunday in the final round of the Allianz Championship at Broken Sound in Boca Raton, he survived the course as well.

“The way I was playing, I could easily have been three back,” he said. “The golf course played much harder today. Maybe I wasn’t handling the situation very well, but the greens were quicker, the hole locations were tougher. I just had to hang in there and make pars, see what happens.”

Make pars and hang in there is exactly what he did. On a day where nine different golfers held at least a share of the lead at different points, Goydos didn't falter, even when everyone around him seemed to be doing just that.
