SAUCIER, Miss. – Miguel Angel Jimenez shot an 8-under 64 to win the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic by two strokes on Sunday.

Jimenez started the day in third place, three shots behind the leader Scott Dunlap. But the 52-year-old from Spain took control on the tournament’s final day thanks to a bogey-free round that included four straight birdies from No. 10 to No. 13.

It is Jimenez’s third victory on the PGA Tour Champions in just 10 starts dating back to 2014. He was 14 under for the tournament at Fallen Oak.

Dunlap couldn’t keep up with Jimenez, but finished in second place after shooting a 69. Tom Pernice Jr., Jeff Maggert and Jerry Smith were five shots behind Jimenez to finish in a tie for third.

Rod Spittle was the lone Canadian in the field. The St. Catharines, Ont., native tied for 58th at 8 over.

SAUCIER, Miss. – The opening round of the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic has been moved to Saturday because of heavy rain in south Mississippi at Fallen Oak.

The players will tee off at 7 a.m. Central on Saturday with the second round scheduled to begin about 12:30 p.m.

The field includes 26 of the top 30 in the current Charles Schwab Cup money list. David Frost, who won last year’s tournament at Fallen Oak, is also playing this weekend.

Rod Spittle is the lone Canadian in the field.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Woody Austin holed out for eagle from a greenside bunker on the par-5 15th and held on to win the Tucson Conquistadores Classic on Sunday for his first PGA Tour Champions title.

The 52-year-old Austin bogeyed the par-4 final hole after driving left into the water and ended up beating Jim Carter by a stroke on Omni Tucson National’s Catalina Course.

Making his 28th start of the 50-and-over tour, Austin finished with a 7-under 65 for a 16-under 200 total. He was 5 under on the four par-5 holes with the eagle and three birdies.

Austin won the 2013 Sanderson Farms Championship at age 49 for the last of his four PGA Tour titles.

Playing in the group behind Austin, Carter birdied the 18th for a 68. The 54-year-old Carter, playing on a sponsor exemption, won the 2000 PGA Tour event at Tucson National for his lone title.

Bernhard Langer was third at 14 under after a 67. Playing alongside Austin, Langer drove into the right-side water on 18 and made a bogey. The German star was coming off a victory Feb. 14 in Naples, Florida.

Canadian Stephen Ames (69) and 2015 winner Marco Dawson (70) tied for fourth at 11 under. Scott Verplank, the second-round leader after his second straight 66, shot a 74 to drop into a tie for sixth at 10 under.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Scott Verplank shot his second straight 6-under 66 on Saturday to take the second-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ Tucson Conquistadores Classic.

The 51-year-old Verplank birdied five of the first six holes and seven of the first 10 in perfect conditions on Omni Tucson National’s Catalina Course. He bogeyed the par-3 12th, failing to get up-and-down from a greenside bunker, and closed with six consecutive pars.

“I was really good or really bad with my shots,” Verplank said. “I’m still not hitting it as good as I would like or kind of the way I want to, but I’m hitting enough good ones to overcome it. … Shooting scores, making birdies, always helps your attitude.”

Winless on the senior tour, the five-time PGA Tour champion has fought a series of injuries, and he had a cortisone shot in his shoulder last week. He is diabetic and wears an insulin pump on the course.

“Trying to get committed to playing this tour full time,” Verplank said. “I’m just happy to shoot some good scores. I haven’t been shooting that many good scores in the last several years after all these different surgeries and injuries. It’s always good to make birdies and shoot good scores.”

Jim Carter and Wes Short Jr. were a stroke back.

The 54-year-old Carter shot a 63. He birdied nine of the first 13 holes, making six straight on Nos. 8-13. A former Arizona State player, he won the 2000 PGA Tour event at Tucson National for his lone title.

“I just hit some good shots, kept it in play, made some putts,” Carter said. “I tried not to think too much, at least for me. I try not to think at all. I seem to do better when I’m not thinking.”

The 52-year-old Short tied the tour record for eagles in a round with three in his 65. After birdieing 16 and 17 to reach 13 under, he drove into the water on the par-4 18th and made a double bogey,

“It’s a tough driving hole,” Short said. “I probably should hit 3-wood off that tee. Driver, if I hit it any left, I’m going to go in the water. I should just take my medicine and play it from a little farther back, but sometimes I’m hard-headed.”

Bernhard Langer, defending champion Marco Dawson and first-round leader Woody Austin were tied for fourth at 9 under. Langer, coming off a victory Feb. 14 in Naples, Florida, in the last tour event, had a 66.

Canada’s Stephen Ames had a 67 and sits tied for 7th, 4-shots back at 8-under.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Woody Austin had six birdies in a seven-hole stretch and shot a 7-under 65 on Friday to take the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ Tucson Conquistadores Classic.

Playing his final nine holes after opening on No. 10, the 52-year-old Austin birdied Nos. 2-5 and 7-8 on Omni Tucson National’s Catalina Course.

“I basically hit it really close,” Austin said. “I got jump-started, I holed out a bunker shot on 2 for birdie after hitting two really good shots and being dead. I didn’t get my first one out of the bunker, and then I holed the next bunker shot for birdie, which really got me going.

“Then I knocked the flag over for a couple, I hit it about 2 feet on the next hole, then I hit it 8 feet on the next hole, and then I hit it 7 feet on the next hole. And then the par 3, I hit a 5-iron to about 7 feet, and then I hit No. 8 in 2, I only had about a 20-footer for eagle and two-putted.”

Winless in 27 starts on the 50-and-over tour, Austin won the 2013 Sanderson Farms Championship at age 49 for the last of his four PGA Tour titles.

“My game today not is indicative,” Austin said. “I haven’t played that good. I usually don’t play very good in the beginning of the year. The benefit I have this week is I took my two boys and their buddy on a golfing trip this past week, so I got in some golf, which I haven’t been able to do. I actually played Pebble Beach on Sunday, Spyglass on Monday, Spanish Bay on Tuesday, so I at last got some golf in before this week, so that was necessary because I haven’t really played that much.”

Scott Verplank and Billy Andrade were a stroke back.

“I kind of kept the ball in play and hit good iron shots, putted pretty solid,” Verplank said. “I hit a couple of tee shots that I wasn’t happy with, but I’ve been hitting a lot of tee shots that I wasn’t happy with. It was a beautiful day and just kind of played like I knew what I was doing.”

The five-time PGA Tour winner has fought a series of injuries.

“I had another cortisone shot in my shoulder last week,” Verplank said. “Just had so many little ailment things, it’s just been hard to get much rhythm. But it’s nice today. I think coming to great weather will help. Hopefully, it will keep going.”

Andrade closed with a bogey on the par-4 18th after hitting within a foot of the water. With both feet in the water, he was able to blast out with a sand wedge.

“I was just hoping and praying that a snake or something wasn’t going to come up and bite me before I hit the shot,” Andrade said. “Last year, same kind of scenario, hit the same kind of drive like that. It’s 300 yards to the water on that line into the wind, so I didn’t think I could get it to the water. Last year, I did and I did it again this year, so, I’m just not very smart, I guess.”

Mark Calcavecchia and Gene Sauers shot 67, and defending champion Marco Dawson was in the group at 68. Bernhard Langer, coming off victory Feb. 14 in Naples, Florida, in the last tour event, opened with a 69. Langer was tied with Canadian Stephen Ames, who was also 3-under.

NAPLES, Fla. – Bernhard Langer won the Chubb Classic on Sunday for his 26th PGA Champions Tour title, closing with a 1-over 73 for a three-stroke victory.

Seven strokes ahead after opening with rounds of 62 and 66, the 58-year-old German star finished at 15 under 201 at TwinEagles. He also won in 2011 and 2013, was second in 2012 and tied for second in 2014.

Fred Couples had a 66 to finish second.

Langer completed his sixth wire-to-wire triumph. He’s second on the 50-and-over tour’s victory list, behind Hale Irwin (45) and Lee Trevino (29).

Using an approach of smart-aggressive, Langer was 1 over through 10 holes before making his first birdie on No. 11.

Couples drew within two shots with a birdie on 17 and Langer’s bogey on 15. Couples had a three-putt bogey on 18, and Langer birdied 17 to push the margin to four. On 18, Langer put his second shot in the water and salvaged a bogey.

Canada’s Stephen Ames and Rod Spittle each had a share of 17th at 6-under.

NAPLES, Fla. – Kenny Perry calls Bernhard Langer “The Germinator.”

“Is he human?” Perry asked.

PGA Tour Champions rivals have to be wondering about the 58-year-old German star.

Langer followed his opening 10-under 62 with a 66 on Saturday to increase his lead to seven strokes in the PGA Tour Champions’ Chubb Classic at TwinEagles.

Langer’s lead is the largest in the event after 36 holes. At 16-under 128, he’s closing in on the tournament-record 20-under total that he set in 2011 and Perry matched in 2012.

Langer won the event in 2011 and 2013. The two-time Masters champion has 25 victories on the 50-and-over tour.

“I know when things go great, it’s unbelievable the scores that can be produced,” Langer said. “I once won a tournament by 17 shots. When everything gets going, you know, I can go low. But there’s still a couple of hiccups out there, which I got away with. Like the tee shot on 18 and the tee shot on 17, I wasn’t happy with.”

However, he said his 5-iron shot to 12 feet on No. 17 and bunker shot over water onto the green on No. 18 to save par give him a lot of confidence going into Sunday.

Langer made a 15-foot putt on No. 3 for eagle that got his day going. He also had a 25-footer for birdie on No. 16. He also had a few putts he just missed in earlier holes. He’s had to change from the anchored-putting stroke he used the past 17 years because a rule change this year.

“He looked at me last year at the end of the year and he told, me, ‘I’ll figure it out,'” Perry said.

Langer said players asked him last year when he was going to make the putting change and he said “Not until the season’s over.” There was a Schwab Cup to be won.

And this year, the adjustment is progressing.

“I had some fantastic two putts from long distance and made a few and really I didn’t miss any short ones,” he said. “What else can you expect from a putting, right?

Perry and Scott Dunlap were tied for second. Perry had a 67, and Dunlap shot 66.

Perry had three birdies and a bogey from Nos. 14-17.

Only a bogey on No. 7 stopped Dunlap’s birdie run from Nos. 3-8. He also birdied Nos. 16 and 17.

Canada’s Rod Spittle is tied for 20th at -4, while Stephen Ames is tied for 33rd at -1.

NAPLES, Fla. – Bernhard Langer had a hard time choosing what kind of putter to use.

Once the 58-year-old German star made that decision, he made the rest look easy Friday, shooting a 10-under 62 to take a four-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ Chubb Classic.

Langer used an anchored stroke with a long putter for 17 years, but new golf rules forced him to adjust after Jan. 1. He said he has used 15 putters and four styles in the last month. Last week in the Allianz Championship in Boca Raton, he had two putters in his bag for a round.

“I need to weed through all the different ways and this can take weeks or even months,” Langer said.

Friday he chose the long putter.

“It was the right decision, I think,” he said.

That’s an understatement.

Langer made 11 birdies at TwinEagles, including five straight birdies on Nos. 3-7 and Nos. 14-18. He made a 35-footer on No. 9 and a 40-footer on No. 17.

Had he not missed 5- and 6-footers, he said his score could’ve even been better.

“I practiced with two different putters (Thursday) night and I practiced some more this morning before the round with two different putters,” he said. Then I can go either way, but I decided to go with a long one today and I was glad I did because I putted very well except those two short ones I missed.”

Warmer weather and a much gentler win than earlier in the week played a key in the fine round.

“I played a practice round Tuesday and it was blowing 23-25 mph and that was really difficult,” he said. “Today was 4-5 mph, sometimes nothing. If there is no wind, you can be more aggressive, you can shoot to your numbers more precisely.”

Langer went on to win the event in 2013 after also opening with a 62.

In the past seven years in Naples, Langer has two victories, two seconds, a tie for third and a tie for fourth. He was in contention last year before withdrawing to attend to a family matter.

“I don’t know exactly why, but we talked about it a few days ago when I was here,” he said. “Not sure what it is, I just feel comfortable here and generally, I’ve always had a decent start. If I look back the last eight or nine years on this tour, I had a pretty good start every year, starting in Hawaii and then playing Boca and coming here.”

Jay Haas was second. He had six birdies.

“It was not easy, but I never felt like I was going to make a bogey,” he said. “I didn’t expect 6 under to be leading, but maybe didn’t see 10 under, either.”

Jeff Maggert was third at 67, and Fred Couples was at 68 along with Kenny Perry Kevin Sutherland, Steve Lowery, Scott Hoch and Michael Allen.

Stephen Ames was 2-under after a 70, while fellow Canadian Rod Spittle had a 70 and was 1-under.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Esteban Toledo parred the third playoff hole Sunday to win the Allianz Championship over Billy Andrade on a cold, windy day at Broken Sound Club.

Toledo made a 4-foot par putt after Andrade’s 5-foot par try lipped out on the par-4 17th hole. Three of Toledo’s four PGA Tour Champions titles have come in playoffs. Toledo (67) and Andrade (68) finished at 11-under 205.

Andrade had a chance to win in regulation but missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole. It looked like he was going to lose on the first playoff hole when his second shot landed in the palmetto bushes, but he saved par.

It was the fourth playoff in the last seven years at the Allianz Championship.

Tom Byrum shot the best round of the tournament, an 8-under 64, to jump from 32nd into a third-place tie with Jeff Sluman (70).

Tom Lehman could have made it a three-way playoff, but he failed to birdie the par-5 18th, which played the easiest on the course (4.47). A bogey dropped Lehman (72) into fifth place.

Second-round leader Corey Pavin extended his advantage to two shots on the front nine but made six bogeys and faded to 10th after a 75. Pavin has just one victory in 112 starts on the PGA Tour Champions, and that came at the 2012 Allianz Championship.

Canada’s Stephen Ames carded a final round 72 to tie for 15th. Compatriot Rod Spittle finished with a share of 19th after a 69 Saturday.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Corey Pavin birdied his last hole Saturday to shoot a 4-under 68 and take a one-shot lead over Tom Lehman into the final round of the Allianz Championship.

Pavin’s only win in 111 starts on the PGA Tour Champions came at the 2012 Allianz. He is at 10-under 134 after two trips around The Old Course at Broken Sound Club.

Lehman also birdied the par-5 closing hole for a 68. He won the 2011 Allianz Championship.

Joe Durant shot a bogey-free 66 and is tied for third with Jeff Sluman at 8-under 136.

Doug Garwood, who started on the back nine, made a run at a 59 but finished bogey-double, bogey for a 65. He was 10-under through 14 holes.

Garwood went to college at Fresno State with Kevin Sutherland, the only player to shoot 59 on the Champions tour.

After a 68 today, Canada’s Stephen Ames sits T18 at 5-under 139 heading to Sunday’s final round. Compatriot Rod Spittle had a 70 and is T39 (143).
