Langer domination
Monday, 30 August 2010
Bernhard Langer continues his domination on the Champions Tour with a three stroke victory in the Boeing Classic.
Langer fired a final round of three-under, 69 to finish at 18-under and equal the tournament record set last year by Loren Roberts.
It was the German's fifth victory for the year, two of which coming at the British Senior Open and US Senior Open last month.
After opening with rounds of 63 and 67, Zimbabwe’s Nick Price (71) wasn't able to find enough birdies on Sunday. Price was alone in second position at 15-under.
American Fred Couples birdied the final hole to finish outright third at nine-under.
Australian Peter Senior had to settle for 25th after closing with an even-par 72.
