KeYS to VictoRYAllen Doyle opened up a four-stroke lead on

Fred Funk through the first seven holes Sunday.

However, a birdie at the eighth by Funk began his

comeback, and by the time the duo left the 12th

green, they were tied. For most of the day, the wind

was blowing slightly out of the northwest. When

Funk and Doyle reached the 13th tee, it suddenly

switched hard out of the southwest at 20 mph and

remained that way for the rest of the tournament.

Funk missed short birdie putts on the 15th and 16th

but then finished strong with birdies on the last two

holes. He holed out a chip shot from 20 feet at No.

17 to take the lead and then, from a fairway bunker

155 yards on the 18th, he launched a 6-iron to

seven feet and converted the putt for a two-stroke

victory margin.

noteSFred Funk’s victory was his third on the

Champions Tour in his 14th start. His winning

score of 21-under 195 extended the run of

MasterCard Championship winners with 54-hole

scores of 20-under-par or more to three straight.

Allen Doyle’s runner-up performance was his

best effort on the Champions Tour since finishing

second at the 2007 ACE Group Classic. He also

registered his seventh top-10 finish, and third

consecutive top-10, in the season-opening event,

tying him with Raymond Floyd, Al Geiberger

and Chi Chi Rodriguez for the most in

tournament history.

Tom Purtzer’s 10-under 62 on Friday proved to be the low round of the event and marked the third consecutive year a player had posted a score of double digits under par in a round. In 2007, Hale Irwin shot 10-under 62 in the second round, and in 2006, Loren Roberts’ 11-under 61 on Sunday set the 18-hole tournament record.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYDespite a howling wind throughout the day, Jerry Pate used three consecutive birdies in the middle of the final round to win. Pate, four strokes behind leader Gil Morgan after the second round, breezed to his first victory in 39 starts and second career Champions Tour title. Pate’s final-round 70 matched the low score of the day. He sank a 4-foot putt at the par-5 eighth hole to move into a tie for the lead and then forged ahead for good by sinking an 8-footer for birdie on the following hole.

WeAtHeR: Partly cloudy each day, with temperatures in the mid-70s. Winds Friday were E from 10-20 mph and increased to 20-30 mph Saturday. Trade winds blew again Sunday from the NE at 20-25 mph. There were a few isolated showers Sunday.

noteSJerry Pate’s 5-under

211 total was the highest

winning score at this event

since Bob Charles won

the 1990 GTE Kaanapali

Classic with a 4-under 206.

After the tournament, Jerry Pate dedicated

his win to one of his closest friends, Kevin

Wilk, who had lost his 26-year-old son just two

weeks earlier. Wilk had helped him rehab at the

Andrews Sports Institute after his fifth shoulder

surgery in the summer of 2006.

The 18-shot differential between Jerry Pate’s

score in 2008 and Fred Funk’s winning total in

2007 was the largest on the Champions Tour for

a 54-hole event in consecutive years.

Jerry Pate’s four-stroke, come-from-behind

victory matched the largest in event history.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYScott Hoch birdied three of his final four holes to pull away from a crowded leaderboard. Hoch, who trailed Jerry Pate by one stroke at the start of Sunday’s round, appeared out of contention after 10 holes when he was 1-over during that stretch. However, he played near-perfect golf the remainder of the afternoon, making successive birdies on Nos. 11 and 12 and additional birdies on Nos. 15, 17 and 18. His 38-½-foot birdie putt on No. 12 proved critical, and he regained a share of the lead at No. 17 by making a 22-footer for another birdie. After hitting a 5-iron approach to 22 feet at No. 18, Hoch two-putted for birdie and the win. Brad Bryant, playing four groups in front of Hoch, posted a 13-under 203 to briefly hold the lead late in the day. He would eventually tie for second with Bruce Lietzke.

KeYS to VictoRYScott Hoch made it two wins in a row with his playoff

victory in Naples. One week after winning the Allianz

Championship, Hoch drained an 8-foot birdie putt on

the 54th hole to grab a spot in the four-man playoff

and then made another 8-footer on the first extra hole

to defeat Tom Jenkins, Brad Bryant and Tom Kite

for the title. Jenkins had entered the final round with

a two-stroke lead but was unable to convert birdie

opportunities at Nos. 17 and 18 that would have won

him the tournament in regulation.

WeAtHeR: After storms dropped 2.7 inches of rain on the area from Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon, it was mostly sunny and pleasant the remainder of the week, with highs in the low-to-mid 70s Friday, climbing into the low 80s on the weekend. Winds were S on Sunday at 10-15 mph.

noteSEleven of the previous 21 tournaments in Naples have been decided by either a playoff or one stroke. Also in 11 of those 21 events, a player has come from behind in the final round to win, including five of the last seven years. Six of 21 first-round leaders/co-leaders have gone on to win the Naples event, the last being Bobby Wadkins in 2007.

The winner of the ACE Group Classic has come out of the final grouping in each of the last seven years. The last time it didn’t happen was in 2000 when Lanny Wadkins needed a final-round 64 to rally from three strokes back and eventually triumph in a playoff.

Gene Littler is the oldest winner of this event, winning the 1989 tournament at 58 years, 7 months, 5 days. Lanny Wadkins is the youngest winner of The ACE Group Classic, winning at Pelican Marsh in 2000 at 50 years, 2 months, 8 days.

Allen Doyle’s five-stroke, wire-to-wire victory in 1999 made him the first player to win on both the Champions Tour and the Nationwide Tour.

Bobby Wadkins’ 2007 victory, coupled with older brother Lanny’s win at Pelican Marsh in 2000, made the Wadkins’ the first set of brothers to claim titles in Naples. It’s happened two other times on the Champions Tour. Mike and Dave Hill both won the Fairfield Barnett Space Coast Classic (Dave in 1987, Mike in 1990) in Melbourne.

ORDER OF FINISH

tournament Record:194, Jay Haas, 2007tournament and current course Record: 60, Tom Purtzer, 2004

KeYS to VictoRYBernhard Langer made a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole to get into a playoff and then outlasted defending champion Jay Haas after seven extra holes for the win. Langer’s 3-foot birdie putt on the seventh playoff hole gave him his second Champions Tour win and ended Haas’ bid for a second straight victory in Newport Beach. The seven-hole playoff was the third longest in tournament history. The all-time nine-hole record was set in 1997 and matched four years later.

WeAtHeR: Mostly sunny and pleasant throughout the week, with highs ranging from the low-50s in the morning reaching into the upper 60s and low 70s later in the day. Winds were light and variable all week.

Watson’s 9-iron from 152 yards on the third playoff hole settled just over a foot and a half from the hole, and he tapped in for the win. He had birdied the final hole of regulation to earn a spot in the playoff with Roberts, who chipped in for an eagle on his 54th hole. Bryant was eliminated after making par on the second playoff hole.

KeYS to VictoRYBernhard Langer carded a nearly error-free 71 in

strong winds and falling temperatures in the final

round to win by eight strokes. Langer’s round, one

of just three under-par scores Sunday, came with

wind off the Atlantic Ocean at a sustained 25 mph

and temperatures dipping into the 50s. He began the

day with a two-shot lead over Lonnie Nielsen and

birdied the second and sixth holes. Nielsen and Fred

Funk—who started three strokes behind Langer—

couldn’t answer, and Langer enjoyed no less than a

six-shot margin the rest of the way. Langer’s birdie

at the par-5 second hole came after an awkward

chip from near the edge of a bunker. He chipped in

for birdie at the par-5 sixth hole.

WeAtHeR: Sunny from Wednesday through Saturday, with highs ranging from the upper 70s to low 80s. Light E winds Friday and Saturday at 5-15 mph. Partly cloudy Sunday, with constant NE winds at 15-20 mph and higher gusts throughout the day.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYMark Wiebe cruised to a four-stroke, wire-to-wire victory over Vicente Fernandez in the first Tour-sanctioned event held in the Dominican Republic. Wiebe was the only player in the field to post three consecutive rounds in the 60s and finished at 14-under 202. His only challenger Sunday was Fernandez. After celebrating his 62nd birthday on Saturday, Fernandez reeled off five consecutive birdies on the front nine (Nos. 4-8) to briefly trail by only two shots. However, Wiebe countered with a 10-foot eagle putt at the par-5 sixth hole and a 5-foot birdie at the par-3 seventh. Wiebe’s only hiccup Sunday came with a double-bogey 7 at the par-5 15th, where he struggled to reach the green and then three-putted from 50 feet. His 8-foot birdie putt at No. 17 moved the margin back to four.

KeYS to VictoRYMark Wiebe first appeared to have the tournament in hand, sailing along with a three-shot lead and four holes to play after making birdie at the par-4 14th. But the wheels fell off for Wiebe and he eventually wound up playing his final four holes in 6-over to tie for fifth. After Wiebe’s misfortune, it appeared as if Tom Watson was in control but he hit a 7-iron approach shot from 157 yards into the water just right of the 18th green. Watson managed to get up and down to finish at 9-under, holing what would turn out to be a clutch 5-foot putt for a bogey at the final hole. Scott Hoch, playing behind Watson in the final grouping, then had a chance to win the tournament outright or send it to a playoff with a par. His approach shot on 18 missed the green. After he chipped four feet past the hole, he missed the par putt, handing the tournament to Watson.

noteSTom Watson’s win at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am made him the first player in tournament history to successfully defend a title. Watson’s 11th career Champions Tour title was also his 50th win in a TOUR-sanctioned event. He joined Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Hale Irwin and Lee Trevino as the only players to have at least 10 wins on the Champions Tour, 20 victories on the PGA TOUR and a combined 50 titles on both Tours.

Fulton Allem and his amateur partner, Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Derrick Brooks, claimed the pro-am portion of the event, edging Curtis Strange and his amateur, former NFL quarterback Vinny Testaverde by a stroke.

Mike Hulbert tied for eighth in his Champions Tour debut.

Bob Charles bettered his age by one stroke Saturday, carding an even-par 71.

Bobby Wadkins made the first double eagle in event history in the opening round, holing a 5-iron second shot from 191 yards on the par-5 12th hole.

KeYS to VictoRYAndy North and Tom Watson may have moved to a new division in 2008, but the results were the same. After three successive victories in the Raphael Division, North and Watson moved to the Legends Division and held off a late charge from Craig Stadler/Jeff Sluman for a one-stroke win. North and Watson opened with a 13-under 59 in the better-ball format and added rounds of 62-64 for a 54-hole total of 31-under 185. The players also enjoyed three consecutive bogey-free rounds, increasing their run of bogey-free holes to 162 dating back to their first win in the Raphael Division in 2005.

noteSAndy North’s victory was his first since the 1985 U.S. Open, a span of 22 years, 10 months, 11 days.

Andy North and Tom Watson became the ninth team to go wire to wire in this event. North also did so in 2000 and 2001 with Jim Colbert as his partner.

Gary Koch and Roger Maltbie claimed their second Raphael Division title (also won in 2003), with a come-from-behind victory over first-round leaders Bob Charles and Stewart Ginn. Koch and Maltbie, who work as golf analysts for NBC Sports, began the day eight strokes behind Charles and Ginn but closed with a 12-under-par 60 to defeat Charles and Ginn by a stroke.

The 12-under-par 60 by Gary Koch and Roger Maltbie set a new Raphael Division scoring mark, breaking the old record of 61 set in 2002 by Bill Rogers and Bruce Lietzke and later matched by Andy North and Tom Watson in 2006 and 2007.

Doug Ford is the only player to have played in every Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf since its first year in 1978. Last year marked Ford’s 31st consecutive appearance in the event. He teamed with Billy Maxwell in the Demaret Division competition. Ford won 19 PGA TOUR events, including the 1955 PGA Championship and 1957 Masters.

ORDER OF FINISH

tournament Record: 201, Scott Hoch, 2007tournament and current course Record: 64, Leonard Thompson, 2007

KeYS to VictoRYDenis Watson holed a 7-foot birdie putt on the

last hole to post a score of 10-under 206 and

break out of a brief four-way tie for the lead.

Watson’s birdie putt eliminated Scott Hoch and

Tim Simpson as both players missed 20-foot

birdie putts prior to Watson’s winning stroke.

Watson waited to see if Nick Price and Loren

Roberts would join him in a playoff. Roberts

eliminated himself after hitting his second shot

into a hazard at the 17th. Price hit his second shot

into a bunker on the par-5 18th, blasted to within

15 feet and then missed his birdie putt, giving

Watson the victory.

KeYS to VictoRYAndy Bean’s dramatic second shot at No. 18,

which helped him save par, preserved a one-stroke

victory over Loren Roberts. Bean’s one-stroke

lead appeared in danger when he hooked his drive

far left after making a bogey on the previous hole.

However, Bean hit a near-perfect 4-iron from 230

yards to 21 feet and calmly two-putted for par and

the win. “That one was about as good as I’ve hit all

day, all week, all year,” Bean said after it was over.

WeAtHeR: Sunny, with highs in the mid-80s early in the week. Overcast Wednesday, with highs in the low-70s and W wind at 10-15 mph. Almost two inches of rain fell Thursday, canceling the pro-am. Mostly cloudy and cool Friday, with highs in the mid-60s and SE winds at 5-15 mph. Sunny and pleasant Saturday, with highs in the upper-70s and light winds. Partly cloudy Sunday, with highs in the low-70s and gusting SW winds at 10-20 mph. Lift, clean and place rules were in effect for all three rounds

KeYS to VictoRYJay Haas closed with a 4-over-par 74 in the final round to hold off Bernhard Langer by a shot. Langer held a one-stroke lead after 54 holes but started the final round with a double bogey, was 4-over for the day after his first four holes and never recovered. Haas had just one birdie in his final round (par-4, No. 5). He came to the 18th tee nursing a one-stroke lead and avenged some demons by hitting a perfect tee shot into the middle of the fairway on the 469-yard finishing hole. In the 1995 Ryder Cup, Haas lost the clinching singles match for the United States on the 18th hole after hitting an errant tee shot. This time, he hit the final green in regulation, and a 2-foot par putt was all he needed to claim the title.

noteSJay Haas’ four-round score of 7-over-par 287 was the highest 72-hole total in relation to par by a winner in Senior PGA Championship history. The previous high was 2-over by Sam Snead in 1970. Haas’ total was also the second-highest winning score in Champions Tour history.

KeYS to VictoRYJay Haas knew he had to be aggressive if he were to defend his title. Trailing second-round leader Nick Price by three strokes with nine holes remaining, Haas’ aggressiveness paid off late in the round when he made consecutive birdies on Nos. 14-16, which gave him the lead. After pars on his final two holes, Haas stood by as his pursuers were unable to close the gap and he successfully defended his title with a one-stroke win over Andy Bean and two over Price.

Roberts were neck and neck through much of the

final round before Sluman grabbed the lead for good

with a 13-foot birdie putt at No. 15. After each made

par at No. 16, Sluman increased his lead to two

strokes with a 30-foot birdie at No. 17. Moments

later, Sluman rolled in a 34-footer for another birdie

at No. 18, ending any chance Roberts may have had.

noteSJeff Sluman’s victory made him the seventh

player to win the event in his first appearance.

Sluman joined Jay Haas (2007), Bob Gilder

(2002), Tom McGinnis (1999), Chi Chi

Rodriguez (1986), Arnold Palmer (1982) and

Bob Goalby (1981).

Jeff Sluman also became the fourth player to

make the Bank of America Championship his first

victory on the Champions Tour. Sluman joined

Bob Goalby (1981), Bob Betley (1993) and Tom

McGinnis (1999) as players who claimed their

first titles in the Boston area.

Jeff Sluman’s 54-hole score of 17-under-par 199

was the lowest three-round total in relation to

par at the Bank of America Championship since

Chi Chi Rodriguez set the tournament record of

18-under 198 in 1987.

In the previous 27 events, only eight first-round

leaders/co-leaders have gone on to win. A total of

14 second-round leaders/co-leaders have won the

tournament.

This is one of the most

difficult tournaments on the

Champions Tour to go wire to

wire for a victory. Bob Gilder

holds the distinction of being

the only one to do so in the

27-year history of the event

when he won in 2002 in a playoff.

Hale Irwin, a two-time winner (1997-98) and

a two-time runner-up, leads all players in total

earnings, with $658,357. Larry Nelson, also

a two-time winner (2000-01), is second, with

$497,248 followed by Allen Doyle, the 2003

champion, with $488,451.

ORDER OF FINISH

2008 Commerce Bank Championship [16th of 29 official Charles Schwab Cup events]

KeYS to VictoRYLoren Roberts secured his first victory of 2008 by holing a 29-foot, double-breaking birdie putt on the par-5 17th Sunday. The birdie put him in front by two strokes and gave him the cushion he needed to preserve the win. Despite making a bogey at the final hole, Roberts finished one stroke ahead of hard-charging Nick Price and Lonnie Nielsen, the event’s defending champion. Price made a strong bid, matching the tournament’s low round with a 6-under 65 Sunday. Nielsen made a 14-foot birdie putt on No. 17 to get within one of the lead, then left a 26-foot birdie putt short on No. 18. Roberts was in a seven-way tie for the lead after three holes, but David Eger jumped in front after a birdie at No. 5. Roberts eventually tied Eger with a short birdie putt at No. 11 and then took the lead for good with a 4-foot birdie putt on the par-5 12th, a hole Eger bogeyed.

WeAtHeR: Partly sunny during the week, with highs ranging from the low-80s to near 90 degrees. Humid on the weekend, with SW winds at 5-15 mph.

KeYS to VictoRYEduardo Romero appeared in control with five holes to play, holding a two-stroke lead. However, his lead dwindled to just one when he missed a 4-foot par putt at No. 14. He remained one up on Joey Sindelar after each birdied No. 16 and was two better than Fulton Allem heading to No. 17. At the par-3 17th, Sindelar saw his par putt lip out, and Allem missed a birdie try. But Romero missed a 4-footer for par leaving the door open. However, Sindelar’s drive went right at No. 18, and his second shot carried into a corporate tent area ending his chances. Allem, meanwhile, missed a lengthy birdie putt for a tie, leaving Romero with a two-putt for the win.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYR.W. Eaks had been using a much heavier putter throughout the 2008 season, but the Fisher Golf putters that arrived prior to the opening round were just what he needed. Eaks entered the final round with a three-stroke advantage and doubled that when he birdied No. 2 and eagled No. 3. However, Gene Jones wouldn’t go away. He kept making birdies, and by the time he made his sixth of the day at No. 14, he had pulled to within two shots of Eaks’ lead. It looked as if Jones was going to get closer when Eaks hit a wedge over the green and into deep rough at No. 15. But Eaks holed the chip for a birdie, and Jones faded after making bogey and double bogey on his next two holes.

WeAtHeR: Hot Tuesday, with highs in the mid-90s. Overcast Wednesday, with highs in the mid-80s. A Thursday thunderstorm canceled the morning pro-am. Partly cloudy in the afternoon, with highs in the mid-80s. Mostly sunny Friday, with highs in the low-80s and NE winds at 5-10 mph. Mostly cloudy Saturday, with light rain in the morning. A series of thunderstorms produced 1.25 inches of afternoon rain. Play was suspended from 2:38-5:30 p.m. Highs in the low-80s with SE winds at 5-15 mph. Partly cloudy Sunday, with highs in the low-80s and WSW winds at 5-15 mph.

KeYS to VictoRYBruce Vaughan sank a 20-foot birdie on the first extra hole to defeat John Cook for his first career Champions Tour victory. Cook appeared in control, opening up a three-stroke margin after 10 holes. However, a double bogey at No. 11 and a bogey at No. 12 sliced his lead. After Eduardo Romero and Bernhard Langer stumbled with bogeys late in the round, Cook was left with a one-stroke margin over Vaughan going to No. 18. Needing to make a 15-foot par putt to secure the win, Cook missed. On the first playoff hole, Vaughan holed his birdie putt, while Cook missed from 12 feet.

noteSWith his victory, Bruce Vaughan became the 21st player in Champions Tour history to make his first win a major championship. The only other player to do it at the Senior British Open was Pete Oakley in 2004.

The victory also secured Bruce Vaughan a berth in the 2009 British Open at Turnberry.

The John Cook-Bruce Vaughan playoff was the eighth in tournament history and the fourth since it became an official event in 2003.

Eduardo Romero’s third-place finish marked the fifth time he has posted a top-10 performance in this event since it became official in 2003. Four of those finishes have been in the top five.

After just making the cut on the number (10-over-par) after the second round, Gary Koch enjoyed a successful weekend. Koch shot a 1-under-par 70 Saturday but followed that with the low round of the day Sunday, a 5-under-par 66, which helped him to a tie for 13th. He had started the weekend tied for 71st.

Ken Green tied for 54th in his Champions Tour debut.

KeYS to VictoRYDespite a 3-over 73 that included four consecutive

bogeys on the back nine Sunday, Eduardo

Romero won in Colorado. Fred Funk remained

close to Romero’s lead through the front nine, but

the Argentinean holed a 45-foot birdie putt at No.

10 to extend his lead to three strokes. Romero

then bogeyed the next four holes. But after his

bogey at the par-4 13th hole, Romero walked off

the green having picked up two strokes on Funk.

At No. 13, Funk pulled his 3-wood tee shot into

high grass. He advanced a 7-iron second shot only

20 yards and eventually made a triple bogey. After

Funk bogeyed No. 14, Romero led by four strokes

with four holes to go. He made four consecutive

pars the rest of the way to notch his second title

of the 2008 season (Dick’s Sporting Goods Open).

noteSEduardo Romero’s U.S. Senior Open win was

the first by an Argentinean since Roberto De

Vicenzo claimed the inaugural championship in

1980 at Winged Foot Golf Club.

Eduardo Romero also became the fifth

international winner of the U.S. Senior Open and

the first international champion since Australia’s

Graham Marsh won in 1997 at Olympia Fields

Country Club near Chicago.

Eduardo Romero’s four-stroke victory was the

largest in a U.S. Senior Open since 1995 when

Tom Weiskopf won by four strokes over Jack

Nicklaus at Congressional Country Club.

The cumulative scoring average for the week was

74.589 at the par-70 Broadmoor, the highest in

relation to par since the 2003 U.S. Senior Open

at Inverness near Toledo. At 7,254 yards, The

Broadmoor’s East Course played as the longest

venue in U.S. Senior Open history.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYTwo weeks after finishing second to Eduardo

Romero at the U.S. Senior Open in Colorado,

Fred Funk redeemed himself in Oregon, claiming

his first major championship. After bogeying the

ninth hole Friday, Funk proceeded to play the next

42 holes without a bogey or worse, in the process

making 17 birdies and 25 pars. Funk’s lead was as

much as six strokes early on the back nine, and by

the time he played the last three holes in Sunday’s

final round in 3-over par, it didn’t matter. Jay Haas

started the final round just one stroke back of

Funk and was his closest pursuer. However, Haas

fell three strokes behind Funk after making bogey

at the par-3 third hole and then dropped out of

contention after making a double bogey at No. 10,

allowing Funk to cruise to a three-shot victory.

WeAtHeR: Unseasonably warm all week. Temperatures in the upper 80s through Thursday before reaching the upper 90s on Friday and Saturday. Winds were light from the NE at 5-10 mph for the first three days. Partly cloudy Sunday, with highs near 90 and afternoon winds from the NW at 5-15 mph. Lightning in the area Sunday afternoon suspended play from 3:08-4:11 p.m.

noteSFred Funk’s victory in Oregon was his fourth overall Champions Tour title in his 23rd start.

Mike Goodes, a non-exempt player at the start of the 2008 season, posted his best finish in a Champions Tour event. He became the fourth player in Tradition history to post four straight rounds in the 60s and not win (the first since Mike McCullough in 2001).

Fred Funk became just the second player, and first since Gil Morgan in 1997, to win the JELD-WEN Tradition with four straight rounds in the 60s.

Fred Funk triumphed early in the year at the MasterCard Championship at Hualalai, and his victory at the Crosswater Club made him a multiple winner for the first time since 1995 on the PGA TOUR (Ideon Classic, Buick Challenge).

The suspension of play in the final round due to lightning in the area marked the first time since 2000 that play had to be stopped in this event.

Seven players were tied for the first-round lead, equaling the most after 18 holes in Champions Tour history (1989 GTE North Classic).

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYTrailing by three strokes at the start of the final

round, Tom Kite made five birdies on the back

nine, including critical birdies at Nos. 14 and 15 to

defeat Scott Simpson by two strokes. Kite was

two down at the turn but made three birdies in

a four-hole stretch. He pulled even with a 9-foot

birdie putt at No. 14 and took the lead for good

with a 7-footer at No. 15. Moments later, Simpson,

who had just one bogey through the first 51 holes,

missed a 2-foot par putt at No. 16 giving Kite a

two-stroke edge as Simpson could not get any

closer.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYJeff Sluman sank two par-saving putts that led to

a five-stroke triumph over Fuzzy Zoeller and Craig

Stadler. Fred Funk, playing ahead of Sluman,

briefly tied for the lead after a birdie at the fifth hole.

However, Sluman birdied the same hole to move into

the lead for good. After making birdie at No. 8 to take

a two-stroke lead over Funk, Sluman holed a 17-foot

par putt at No. 9 and then made a difficult 12-foot,

right-to-left-breaking putt for par at No. 11. Following

his bogey on the 12th, Funk faded from contention.

Later, on No. 15, Sluman sank a 16-foot birdie putt to

take a four-stroke lead and cruised in from there.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYR.W. Eaks and Tom Jenkins began the final round four strokes clear of the rest of the field. The two remained tied for the lead after five holes, but a Jenkins double bogey at the par-4 sixth opened the door for Eaks, who stretched his lead to three strokes at No. 11 when Jenkins three-putted from 35 feet. His margin grew to four after Jenkins sailed his approach shot at No. 12 over the putting surface. Eaks gave Jenkins some room for hope with a three-putt bogey at No. 13, his only blemish of the tournament. However, at the par-5 14th, Eaks stayed aggressive and hit the green in two. A two-putt birdie from 50 feet was the clincher for Eaks.

KeYS to VictoRYA day after indicating if he shot a final-round 65

or 66 he could win the title, Eduardo Romero’s

words proved true. Romero closed with a 6-under-

par 66 for a three-stroke victory over Tom Kite.

Trailing 36-hole leader Bruce Fleisher by one

stroke at the start of Sunday’s final round, Romero

posted a 4-under-par 31 on the front nine to take

control at the turn. He led by as much as four

strokes after 11 holes, and despite a bogey at No.

13 which dropped his margin back to two strokes,

he closed with birdies on Nos. 15 and 17 to pull

away.

WeAtHeR: Mostly sunny early in the week with highs ranging from the low 70s to near 80. Showers Thursday evening and Friday morning, dropping nearly one inch of rain on the area. Mostly cloudy Friday, with highs in the low 70s with ENE winds at 10-15 mph. Mostly cloudy and pleasant Saturday, with highs in the mid-70s. Light showers Saturday evening dropped another tenth-of-an-inch of rain. Cloudy early Sunday before becoming mostly sunny with highs in the low-80s. Lift, clean and place rules were in effect all three rounds.

ORDER OF FINISH

2008 Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship [26th of 29 official Charles Schwab Cup events]

KeYS to VictoRYDown four strokes with 14 holes to play, D.A. Weibring rallied to take the lead midway through the final round and used two par saves late to hold on for the win. Nick Price appeared in control early until he squandered his four-stroke advantage and dropped out of the lead with a bogey at No. 10. This temporarily opened the door for Jay Haas and Ben Crenshaw, who each owned a share of the top spot on the back nine. Crenshaw, playing two holes ahead of the final grouping, had another golden opportunity to tie Weibring for the lead but he failed to convert a 4-foot birdie putt at No. 17. Trailing by one stroke, Price’s approach at the par-4 17th stopped three feet above the hole, while Weibring’s shot went into the back rough. After a chip to 10 feet, Weibring drained a par-saving putt and then watched Price miss his downhill putt to tie.

the following players did not finish (W=withdrew)W—72-Craig Stadler.

WeAtHeR: Beautiful weather throughout the week, with sunny skies each day and highs in the mid-70s. There were light showers Wednesday night. Winds were very light each day.

noteSD.A. Weibring’s one-stroke victory margin marked

the fourth time in the last five years that the event

has been decided by a single shot.

Jeff Sluman’s third-round

64 matched the tournament

record at Five Farms and also

equaled the best third-round

score in championship history.

The victory by D.A. Weibring ended a personal

0-64 (0-39/PGA TOUR, 0-25/Champions Tour)

victory drought in major championships and was

his fifth overall Champions Tour title, matching his

victory total on the PGA TOUR.

D.A. Weibring’s 72-hole total of 9-under-par 271

was the highest score in relation to par to win the

Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship

since Jim Albus claimed the 1991 Senior Players

with a 9-under 279 at the TPC Michigan near

Detroit.

At 55 years, 4 months, 17

days, D.A. Weibring became

the event’s oldest winner

since Raymond Floyd in

2000 (57 years, 10 months, 12

days)…Bernhard Langer’s

tie for seventh made him the

only player to finish among the top 10 in all five

Champions Tour majors in 2008.

The cumulative field scoring average this year was

70.887 compared to 71.016 in 2007.

KeYS to VictoRYBernhard Langer successfully defended his title

when he prevailed by two strokes over Lonnie

Nielsen near Houston. Langer trailed Nielsen by

one stroke after nine holes in the final round due,

in part, to a one-stroke penalty he incurred on No.

3 for picking up his ball. However, birdies on Nos.

11, 13 and 14 put him back into the lead, and the

former Masters champion never looked back.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYJohn Cook had posted 14 top-10 finishes during the year but he hadn’t won. Playing with a stomach ailment during the final round, Cook bogeyed the first hole at Oak Hills on Sunday then buckled down and birdied three of the next four holes to go on to successfully defend his title. He took the lead for good with a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-5 10th. When Cook was midway through his front nine, Jay Haas temporarily tied him with a 9-foot eagle putt at No. 10. However, Haas’ bid for a fourth career title at Oak Hills ended when he bogeyed the 13th hole after pulling a 4-iron shot into the water. Cook saved pars on Nos. 11-13 after missing the greens and then pulled away with a 2-putt birdie from 30 feet on the 512-yard 15th and an 8-foot birdie at the 17th.

WeAtHeR: Warm early in the week, with highs near 90 through Wednesday. A front moved through Thursday afternoon, sending temperatures into the mid-70s Friday. Temperatures warmed on the weekend, with highs in the mid-80s Saturday and Sunday. Winds ESE at 5-10 mph each day.

noteSJohn Cook became the third player in AT&T Championship history to successfully defend a title and first since the event moved to Oak Hills in 2002. Jim Albus won back-to-back event at The Dominion in 1995-96, and Lee Trevino claimed consecutive titles at the same venue in 1991-92.

Keith Fergus’ runner-up performance at Oak Hills was his best on the Champions Tour since winning the 2007 Ginn Championship.

John Cook’s victory marked the sixth consecutive year the event has been won by a Champions Tour rookie, and it’s happened 13 times in 24 years at this tournament.

Oak Hills played to a stroke average of 70.419, the easiest it’s ever played for this event.

Bruce Fleisher made the fourth hole-in-one of his Champions Tour career and second ace at the AT&T Championship, holing a 6-iron shot from 181 yards on the 18th hole in the second round. Fleisher had made an ace at Oak Hills during the second round of the 2005 event. Fleisher’s ace was the ninth in tournament history.

Dave Stockton matched his age for the third time in his career, shooting 5-under 66 in the opening round.

Surprisingly, there were 21 eagles made, all of them on the back nine

Blaine McCallister tied for 64th in his Champions Tour debut.

ORDER OF FINISH

KeYS to VictoRYAndy Bean, an 11-time PGA TOUR winner, cruised

to a nine-stroke win over Gene Jones. Leading by

just one stroke after 36 holes, Bean was forced to

play his final 32 holes Sunday when rain stopped

his third round after just four holes. However, Bean

built a four-shot advantage after 54 holes and then

pulled away early in his final round with a 6-under-

par 30 on the front nine. He made just two bogeys

in his final 47 holes, and his 20-under-par 268

matched the tournament scoring record. The nine-

stroke margin of victory was also the largest on the

Champions Tour in 2008.

KEY: * = Playoff

One year after winning with son Josh, Larry Nelson teamed with son Drew to successfully defend the DelWebb Father/Son Challenge title. Not only did Larry win his third overall Father/Son title, he also became the first dad to win titles with different sons in consecutive years. Larry and Drew Nelson also won this event in 2004. Raymond Floyd won three straight years (1995-97) with Raymond Jr. and then won back-to-back Father/Son events (2000-01) with son Robert. Bernhard Langer won back-to-back titles (2005-06) with son Stefan.

Nick Faldo and his son Matthew made a respectable showing in their tournament debut. The six-time major champion’s only competitive golf in in 2008 prior to this tournament was a missed cut at the UBS Hong Kong Open two weeks earlier. Matthew, a student at the University of West of England in Bristol, only plays casual golf. The duo combined to shoot 16-under 128 in the 36-hole score scramble format to tie for seventh.

After winning the PGA TOUR’s Children’s Miracle Network Classic in November, Davis Love III teamed with son Dru to record their best career finish in this event. Playing in their third Del Webb Father/Son Challenge, the Loves finished second with a 19-under-par 125 score. In 2006, Team Love was fourth and in their debut in 2005, they tied for ninth at ChampionsGate.
