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.

He chipped in from 20 feet at the 18th hole, building a two-shot lead that withstood Andy Bean's birdie at No. 18 in the final group.

It marked Langer's second win in as many starts and his eighth win in the 37 events he's played since Sept. 2007, when he first began competing on the over-50 tour.

"I'm just having a great time out here," said Langer.

Bean's closing birdie gave him a 67 and second place at 15-under 201. It was the second time this season that Bean finished runner-up to Langer, who also beat him at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship in January.

Scott Hoch (66) took third at 14-under 202, while Tom Kite (67) finished fourth at 13-under 203.

Nick Price, the overnight leader, managed only a one-under 71 and tied for fifth with Steve Thomas (67) at 12-under 204.

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.

Langer also won his last start, the Triton Financial Classic, in June.

"It's been a great run," Langer said of his time on the Champions Tour. "I'm just enjoying my golf. It's as good as I've played in my entire career."

Langer hit 34 of 42 fairways through three rounds and 43 of 54 greens, averaging only 28 putts for the three days.

On Sunday, after making two birdies on the front nine, Langer took the lead with three straight birdies from the 10th to the 12th, moving past Price.

Bean tied Langer with a birdie at the 14th, his second in three holes, but Langer's eagle at the 18th gave him a two-stroke advantage.

Langer dipped to his knees and pumped his fist after holing the shot from just off the green.

"He called it," said Langer's son and caddie, Stefan. "I was thinking just an up-and-down (for birdie)."

Bean's closing birdie at the 18th -- where he needed the rarest shot in golf, a double-eagle, to tie Langer -- only served to halve the German's winning margin.
