Darren Clarke won the TimberTech Champions for his first PGA Tour Champions title, two-putting for birdie on the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory over Jim Furyk and Bernhard Langer. Clarke hit his second shot on 18 to 30 feet and rolled his eagle try just past the hole on Sunday. After Furyk missed a 25-foot eagle try, Clarke tapped in for a 4-under 68 and the breakthrough victory.
The 52-year-old major champion from Northern Ireland had a 17-under 199 total at the The Old Course at Broken Sound. Clarke shot a 62 ¿ with a penalty stroke for picking up his ball on the second fairway ¿ Saturday for a share of the lead with Robert Karlsson. Clarke won the 2011 British Open at Royal St. George's. The 50-year-old Furyk also closed with a 68. He won this year in his first two starts on the senior tour. Langer, the 63-year-old German star who won the event in 2010 and 2019, shot 67. He was 16 under until making bogeys on the 15th and 17th holes that cost him.
