Picture Goosen celebrates his victory.

STABLEFORD FORMAT SUITS GOOSEN

Retief Goosen scored 32 points to capture his first PGA Tour title of the year at The International in Colorado.

After rain postponed Thursday's first round, 63 players were forced to play the final two rounds yesterday.

Goosen scored eight points in the third round, putting him within four of leader Brandt Jobe entering the final 18 holes.

And the South African scored seven points in the final round to finish one point ahead of Jobe, who was minus three over the final 18 holes.

The win could not come at better time for Goosen, who is one of the favourites for this week's USPGA Championship - the final Major of the season.

Goosen led after three rounds at the US Open before falling apart and finished tied for fifth at The Open.

The International is the only PGA Tour event to use a modified Stableford format, awarding points for birdies and better and subtracting points for bogeys and worse.

Players receive two points for a birdie, five for an eagle and eight for an albatross but lose a point for a bogey and three points for a double-bogey or worse.

Britain's Justin Rose finished 12 points off the place while Phillip Price was another point back.
