Blaine, MN (My Sportsbook) - Bernhard Langer eagled the 18th hole Sunday to win the 3M Championship by a shot, picking up his fourth victory of the season. Langer, the two-time Masters champion who has found tremendous success on the Champions Tour, finished three rounds at the TPC Twin Cities at 16-under 200. It was his eighth win since Sept. 2007, when he first began playing on the over-50 tour. Andy Bean, who birdied the last for a 67, finished in second place at 15-under 201, while Scott Hoch (66) took third at 14-under 202. Tom Kite (67) finished fourth at 13-under 203. Langer, already above the $1 million mark when the tournament began, added a $262,500 winner's check to bring his season total to nearly $1.5 million. The 51-year-old German is well on his way to earning his second straight Player of the Year award. He earned his first last season, when he was also the Rookie of the Year on the Champions Tour. Overnight leader Nick Price managed a one-under 71 and tied for fifth with Steve Thomas (67) at 12-under 204. MORE TO FOLLOW. |
