RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Woody Austin knew Bernhard Langer was lurking throughout the final nine holes, and he did just enough to hold him off. Austin shot a 3-under 69 for a one-stroke victory Sunday in the PGA Tour Champions' playoff-opening Dominion Energy Charity Classic. Langer, the defending tournament champion and series points leader, made the turn one shot off the lead, but eight straight pars kept him from ever gaining a share of the lead. Austin's birdie from 6 feet on the closing hole allowed him to hang on for the victory. |
